Had a dorsal height revision with a DCF. After 1 month a hump appeared. Any hope of it being fixed? (photos)

Asked By:Nice749017 in Chicago, Illinois

Several months ago I had a dorsal height revision with a DCF. In the weeks following it was completely straight. Around 1 month after a hump appeared, went down, and then came back to stay. The mid dorsal height also seems to have gone. After the cast my Dr. Put tape on the lower part/mid bridge. I have lost a lot of sleep feeling guilty that I may have taped wrong. Could this have moved the cartilage? What else could have caused this and do I have any hope of it being fixed? It has made me sad

Would it be a concern to have a piercings done in the ear I had cartilage removed from for revision rhinoplasty? (photo0
David M. Kowalczyk, MD, MBA, FACS says:

Hi Jess! That’s a great question. Typically, when we remove cartilage from the ear, it comes from the bowl area not the tragus, lobe, or helix. Those areas are where most of the piercings occur. One way to tell where the cartilage was removed is to feel with your fingers. If it feels soft or l...
