1 year post op, I have Trigeminal neuralgia after rhinoplasty. How can I treat this?

irsiAug 9, 2014
I am one year post op after rhinoplasty with a medpor implant that was put in my columella. The nose did not heal well & I feel nerve pressure in my maxilla area. The "bad" side is the left side & that is the side--from nasal area to neck to shoulder--where there is hot, clenching pain. I want a revision for aesthetic reasons. Will that be possible? How do I get a diagnosis and treatment for pain now?

You can have a more refined nose that is natural in appearance. I perform these surgeries with closed technique to preserve the structure of the nose and minimize visible scarring.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

I am not sure what the issue is with the skin of your nose a month after your rhinoplasty. You would need to be examined to determine what the problem might be.  Any treatment would be determined by the cause.  If your surgeon is unable to see you, I would see someone else.
