Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding early changes in Rhinoplasty surgery. This is a common enough concern and any surgeon&nbsp;who does not keep a patient prepared for the natural course of a rhinoplasty outcome, both before and after surgery, is missing an important opportunity to communicate and reassure their patient. Sharing such course from the previous examples is very useful. I would expect changes in the Nasal Dorsum and see how it looks at 6, 12 and 18 months ... As I would&nbsp;say to my patients after 11 days&nbsp;... The&nbsp;Healing Process is just about getting ready ... has not really started yet ... Best Wishes !

I had a small bump removed and tip made smaller. But my side profile still looks the exact same, just the tip looks bigger from swelling. The bump on my nose does not feel like swelling. The skin is thin. I am only 11 days post op but I have seen other people with a bump removed and it's gone right away. I spent 7000$ for this surgery and am just very discouraged. I know it takes a while for swelling to go down.. Just can't believe it still looks the same.

Hi Sananaraja, That is n interesting and a common question asked in my NoseClinic. The crux of the matter is if the nasal septum alone is deviated or if there is bony deviation too. At a detailed level I would study the face especially the eyes the lips and how the nose sits vertically between these.

I have a deviated septum and I was advised to have a septoplasty done. Will this procedure also help straighten my nose appearance from outside once the deviated septum is straightened? Do I also need Rhinoplasty?

Thank&nbsp;you for your question and sharing your reasonable doubts !
Most good Rhinoplasty surgeons nowadays are just that ... good Rhinoplasty surgeons consistently achieving safe predictable &nbsp;satisfying results. The patients should be informed of the implications of the two techniques and in case of an open approach it would be a good idea to show a range of the columellar scars in your hands. It would also be a good idea to have the flexibility of rarely changing between the two approaches if it is considered to be better for the patient. There is no reason for a cost difference between the two approaches as long as a surgeon achieves. consistently&nbsp;good outcomes through the approach of their choice.
Regarding suboptimal correction ... that may happen through either approach.
I hope that helps.
Best !

&nbsp;I had a rhinoplasty paid £7,000 for what was suppose to be open Rhinoplasty.&nbsp;I've had a trauma to my nose from childhood.I believe it was devaited from then. I have a hard copy from surgeon for open Rhinoplasty. When I get to the surgery, he changed his mind to closed. I wasn't happy with that decision, I needed a surgeon to open up my nose to investigate the extent of the damage of the nasal fracture.I believe I have over paid for a surgery which I didn't have. Got a second opinion, I have been to see a E.N.TMaxFaxsurgeon.He said my nose is still devaited.

Is a closed rhinoplasty price different from an open?

Nasal Blockage after Septo-plasty or Rhinoplasty are typically due to a Physical blockage (Residual deviation of the Nasal&nbsp;septum, Residual posterior spurs, Internal Nasal Valve compromise and&nbsp;rarely adhesions in modern Rhinology) or Physiological blockage ( Rhinitis based). Inferior Turbinate hypertrophy can be obstructive in early months but always resolves without intervention in my experience. I would evaluate this present Clinical situation&nbsp;with a CT Scan of Nose and PNS&nbsp;and a Sinuscopy with detailed photo documentation with and without decongestive treatment at the same sitting. A surgeon trained in Nasal Surgery can usually diagnose and predict need for further&nbsp;intervention and success.&nbsp;

I had a septoplasty in 2016. Was deviated to the right. I now find myself blocked on the left. The right side is now ok Mucosa is inflaming to a point where the left is blocked. Pressurised environments also affect on the left, being in cars and trains. My mucosa was always susceptible to rhinitis however it seems that moving septum more to the left the inflammation that once was not an issue for the left is now an issue My breathing is good at times but these are short occasions Any advice?

Hi Christelle

	I appreciate that the Immediate post-operative period after a Rhinoplasty is an anxious time but you should not touch any parts or stitches before you see your surgeon on Monday. My guess and hope is that it is a harmless dried nasal secretion crust that may have no long-term implications.&nbsp;

	Best wishes

I'm 11 days post-op , I didn't have any breathing problems before my rhinoplasty.Yesterday,when my cast is removed I started to feel and touched something very hard inside my left nostril and it's attached to columella's bone but at the same time it moves a little , I think it's a bone ..i'm so nervous that i will have to get another surgery to remove it.I can't meet my surgeon before monday,so can anyone help me and give me reasons for this hard thing stuck in my nostrils ? Thank you
