Nose still hurts when wearing glasses 6 months PO. Is this normal?

Anna2346Jan 27, 2017
I had a septorhino 6 months ago. The hump on the bridge of my nose was shaved down 7mm but there's still a tiny bump. My surgeon assumed he didn't shave down the hump completely, or it's a callus. My problem now is that my nose still hurts after wearing my glasses for about 10 minutes. It also creates a tension around my forehead and my cheeks around my nose. It's similar to the kind of pain I experienced when I had a sinusitis a few months ago. My question is: is this pain normal 6 months PO ?

I'm really sorry that you had to endure this. I recommend you give it some time to heal first - what you see is not necessarily what you'll end up with. But from the pictures, you will likely require significant nasal reconstruction In a staged fashion.  This means be prepared for more than one...

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. You may also benefit from a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip...

Hi.  Your skin looks to be of medium thickness.  I have had many patients with skin such as yours and you can still get very good results.  You would need a radix and dorsal hump reduction with tip refinement and likely a nasal tip graft. A septoplasty can be performed in the same operation.  ...

It is normally recommended that one wait at least 6 months after finishing accutane treatment before having rhinoplasty. You should check with your dermatologist and plastic surgeon regarding specific recommendations in your case.
