Internal nasal valve collapse? Do I have any options after two revisions?

Asked By:Fearless574724 in New York, New York, Egyesült Államok

I had a rhinoplasty that caused my nose to collapse externally and internally. A revision surgery used cartilage from my ear to support the tip, but after a month, my nose became even narrower. Another surgery used septal cartilage, which stabilized the tip perfectly, but the inside remains narrow. Internal cartilage placement wasn’t possible due to significant scarring, which is pressing on the internal structure. Does this mean I have no further options?

Answer: If you cannot breathe through your nose, you may indeed need further surgery.
