Its been almost two years since Ive my sinoplasty/rhinoplasty. I still have a very bulbous tip/drooping collumela that still swells occasionally. I have thick skin but was never told to tape. Ive already gone through one round of steroid injections that gave me some temporary results. Im now seeing some bumps on my tip which I am concerned might be scar tissue. Is there anything I can do now short of revision?
I have scar tissue inside both of my nostrils where the incisions were. My doctor said that he can remove the scar tissue, but that the scar tissue might come back. What can I do to prevent the scar tissue from coming back? Can I use silicone scar sheets inside my nostrils?
Hello. I had a rhinoplasty a little over a year ago. My nose constantly drips snot when it's cold, when I'm eating, when I'm exercising, when I'm laughing, etc. The only time it doesn't drip is when I'm laying down. When I lay down, my nose also becomes congested. Lastly, I have thick scar tissue growing inside the top of both of my nostrils. Will I have to get another revision to solve these problems? Can the scar tissue that's inside the top of my nostrils (where the scar is) be removed?
Hello, I had rhinoplasty 3 and a half years ago. There is excess scar tissue formation inside my nose. Since the right side of my nose is round and soft, I think there is scar tissue formation there as well. Is it useful to apply steroid injection? Even if I had a revision, I was hesitant because there was a possibility that it could reoccur.
I had rhinoplasty just over a year ago and ive had this lump under my skin since the procedure and it hasnt gone down since, I think its scar tissue and I'm just wondering if it will ever get better as its really obvious and makes my nose look deformed. My surgeon gave me one steroid shot and it didnt improve and he thinks it looks fine so I havent been offered any other solution for it
I recently had a rhinoplasty about 6 months ago I am not noticing one nostril has either scar tissue or skin Im not sure what this could be but its making it difficult to breath out of that side and I hate looking at the inside of my nose. Also noticing nostril getting wider.
Following open rhinoplasty 21 months ago, my nose tip remains persistently swollen. Surgeon attributes it to my thick skin and slow lymph vessel recovery. Is this typical for open rhinoplasty? Could internal scar tissue contribute? How much longer can I expect improvement before the final result?
I'm 38, had rhinoplasty +septoplasty exactly 3 years ago with a well renown surgeon in my area who only specializes in nose jobs. After 3 years and 9 steroid shots, my nose is still very crooked due to lots of scar tissue and multiple firm bone-like bumps. My Dr. is saying my nose looks great as the bones are straight, I just have lots of calluses and scar tissue. Can this be true? PS: He is offering free revision to file off bumps, but for scar tissue he suggests to keep doing shots.
