Dizziness After Nose Job

This is a complication of the relationship between the nose, ear, eustachian tubes. Discuss with your doctor ASAP. Or seek an ENT consult.

From MIAMI Dr. B

BPPV is a self-limited condition that causes room-spinning diziness, lasting less than a minute, when you roll from one side to the other in bed. This condition is thought to be caused by a dislodged calcium-crystal in your inner ear. It can be associated with head trauma, so this may have been precipitated by osteotomies performed during your Rhinoplasty.

The treatment of BPPV involves rehabilitative exercises of your neck, not medication. This condition almost always gets better.

You should consult your surgeon or a board-certified ENT for a definitive diagnosis.

I hope this is helpful for you.

I assume you have discussed this with your surgeon.  Ask for a referral to an otolaryngologist (ENT), who does otology (treatment of ear diseases) for evaluation and treatment. This complication is very rare, but usually temporary.
