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?
Hello, I had a rhinoplasty surgery 6 months ago. A hematoma formed in my nose and it was emptied in the first week. In the following weeks, I had nasal abscess and nosebleed. There was a risk of adhesions, so a tampon was inserted again. After the tampon, my face was very swollen and it turned out to be a severe infection. With antibiotics and needles We treated the infection and it went away. Currently I have a small hole in my septum.Is there any chance that the needle will reduce the swelling
I had a septorhinoplasty in the UK in July 2022 and my nasal bridge looks bigger than before. For context, I have thick oily acne-prone skin and I was told by my surgeon that it could take potentially 2 years to fully heal. I will be going on accutane soon for my acne and I have heard that it can potentially reduce appearance of the size of the nose due to the effects it has on sebaceous glands however I was considering steroid injections? Can anyone please advise?
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
Hi! I went to Istanbul, Turkey, to get a nose job for my bumpy and bulbous nose (closed, thick skin) After 3 or so months of the procedure, I noticed I had polly beak and was told to just wait. Its been now 19 months since my procedure, I want to see if I can find a doctor that can perform steroid injections to perhaps help? I really dont want to undergo another rhinoplasty. What can I do?
How often (always, 75,50, or 25%) of the time does a patient who goes through bulbous tip fix during rhinoplasty need steroid injections after op to help with swelling. How many of these are needed and over what duration. Please share common schedules for such injections. Considering OOT surgeons and want to know what the post op may look like
I had a rhinoplasty 5 years ago and my nose looks ok when I am not smiling, however when I smile with my teeth showing, my nose looks twice as wide. I have thick skin, but my doctor said that the swelling would go down after 2-3 years and did not use steroid injections. It's been around 5 years and I really dislike how round my nose looks when I smile. Would I be able to have injections in my nasal tip or is it too late? is there any nonsurgical way to fix my nose or should i get a revision
I'm still dissatisfied with my rhinoplasty. I've read somewhere that steroid injections can help with scar tissue. I like the profile view of my nose but the front view is still not to my liking. I often find myself using heavy contour to further refine my nose. It doesn't help at all. Would it be beneficial to consult with my surgeon about some type of steroid therapy to further refine my nose? My problem area is where I circled. Should I get a revision or bite the bullet and let it be?
I had my rhinoplasty a year and five months ago. six months post op I had my first steroid injection after that I had four more. After the third or fourth injection my nose changed a lot. The shape is not what it used to be and now it has indents or bumps on the tip. My nose now looks too pointy, and when I smile it kinda droops down. I am just as self-conscious as I was before the nose job. I just want to know if theres a way to fix this without a revision and as soon as possible please :*(
