Vision problems after Rhinoplasty

May 4, 2016
Asked By:exclusive12 in Los Angeles, CA

I had a rhinoplasty 10 months back. I had a bump removed and nose reduced in size. Ever since the surgery my left size has been healing nicely and left side has been giving me issues. The vision in right eye has also gotten bad. I was being patient and hoping it would go away but it hasn't. So my question to the doctors is that, can rhinoplasty change your vision. What could be going on? And what should I do?

I just had rhinoplasty and would like up know whether it is safe to use poppers after 3 months or not. What about in 6 months?
Michael A. Persky, MD says:

Hi Rhino 1551,Poppers are not a good idea at any time, certainly rhinoplasty surgeons will not tell you that it is okay to use them.  As with any potentially dangerous recreational drug, use at your own risk, better yet, "Just Say No!"What are poppers?“Poppers” is the popular name for vari...
