Very swollen & red nose 3+ years after rhinoplasty

July 9, 2024
Asked By:Zach1990 in Shelby Township, Michigan

I had the surgery done over 3 years ago, & ive been getting swollen/red for about 8 months now. I’ve seen an allergist, my surgeon, & multiple dermatologists. Nobody knows what is going on. Exercising, heat, low humidity, high sodium meals all trigger it badly. It practically doubles in size & gets really red. What could this be? Only thing I haven’t tried was steroid injections & Isotretinoin. My derm thinks it’s morbihan’s disease. It’s difficult to breathe during a trigger.

Burak Pasinlioglu, MD, FEBOPRAS says:

Hello, as you can see from the photos, your nose is a bit wide compared to your face. Unfortunately, there is no treatment other than surgery to thin this out. Because it is your bone structure that is wide here. Botox or other treatments cannot change bone shape in any way. Only bone narrowing...
