2 years post-septorhinoplasty. Should my nose be collapsing to this degree upon deep inspiration? I don't think that it should be, but I've been told things like, you're just breathing in too hard. Is this normal? Is this external collapse? I also believe I have some degree of internal collapse on both sides. Thank you!
Hi, Im looking for some help. I got a rhinoplasty done about a year ago and as time has passed the end result looks very asymmetrical at the nostrils and the tip. I have never had this issue before the nose job but I did have a boxy tip that my surgeon corrected for. After research, it looks similar to nasal valve collapse pics I am seeing online. Is this the case? I am seeing my surgeon in a month and considering a revision.
Is using a spreader graft really the only feasible surgical way to fix static internal nasal valve stenosis/collapse caused by weakened upper lateral cartilage? My right side is narrowed and this has been suggested but I do not want my nose to widen cosmetically / be asymmetrical if used only on one side but I think this may be the only option to correct my breathing. Have never had a nose surgery before but broke nose years ago.
Hi - after minor bump in the face I began having issues breathing from one nostril. In addition to hypertrophied turbinate on that side I have mild static internal nasal valve collapse. Most drs I consulted w/say try reducing turbinate but one suggested surgery w/spreader graft. Love nose cosmetically and I'm extremely worried any surgery would widen the nose which some drs have said but this one says no. Desperate to breathe, but worried. What to do?
Two years ago, I had septolplasty, bilateral turbinates reduction and bilateral nasal valve collapse surgeries. Im thinking of having rhinoplasty now to improve the appearance of my nose. I know I should have done it at the same time along with the other surgeries but at that time, my main concern was to improve my breathing. If I would have a rhinoplasty in the future, would this be considered a revision rhinoplasty since I already had previous surgeries in my nose, though not cosmetic? Thanks
I underwent septorhinoplasty a while ago due to a broken nose. I had issues breathing through my nose but it was much worse on the left side. After surgery, breathing improved overall but still much better on the right side. There are times when no air is coming in or out of the left side at all. The left side looks different as well.
I have a nasal collapse and deviated septum which means I cant breath on both sides. The first surgeon I saw wants to undertake a rhinoplasty with rib cartilage. I decided to get a second opinion as I was this meant I will have a bigger nose. The second surgeon has recommended a septorhrinoplasty use the cartilage from the septum. Its difficult to know what to do where you have two surgeons suggesting such different approaches (and cost). How do you go about making the decision?
I had a rhinoplasty procedure done about 10 months ago. The doctor slightly Brought down my bridge as well as lifted my tip. He also discovered what he said was a deviated septum. (Never knew I had that.) I am noticing a line indentation on the right side of my nose as well as the nostril looking a little more sunk in than the other nostril. I know it is impossible for nostrils to be completely asymmetrical but something looks off. Is this the beginning of a collapse?
What is going on with the left side of my nose (right side in pics). It seems to be caving in and taking on a scooped out look. volume loss? Valve collapse? No trauma as far as I know, and Ive never had previous rhinoplasty. Its been slowly getting worse for the past 2 years or so. I was diagnosed with a deviated septum 10 years ago. Breathing isnt a huge issue, although when I first wake up I cant breathe out of the left nostril. Can this be fixed?
