Concerned after revision rhinoplasty, can calluses be that big? (Photos)

Question

I have had a revision rhinoplasty done. I am worried what is going on with my nose. My nose looks quite different to my table photos and video I seen post surgery. This is 2nd time I've had surgery now. The surgery itself and surgeon seemed great. I'm beginning to think it's my nose and it won't reduce hump now and I am not able to have a smoother nose. I understand callous can appear. But can they be that big? What is your thoughts on what is going on?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

It's understandable to feel concerned and anxious about the appearance of your nose after a revision rhinoplasty. It's important to keep in mind that the healing process after rhinoplasty can take several months, and the final results may not be apparent for up to a year or more.

It's possible that you may be experiencing swelling or scar tissue formation, which can affect the appearance of your nose. In some cases, calluses or irregularities can also develop as a result of healing. However, it's difficult to determine the cause of these changes without a physical examination or a review of your medical records.

I would recommend scheduling a follow-up consultation with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and have your nose examined. Your surgeon will be able to provide you with a more accurate assessment of your situation and recommend any necessary treatments or procedures to help achieve your desired results.

In the meantime, it's important to be patient and follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully. Avoid any strenuous physical activity and protect your nose from trauma, and keep in mind that the healing process takes time.

I hope this helps, 
best of luck !
