I Popped Two Pimples and Now the Shape is Different. Did I Ruin my Rhinoplasty?

March 16, 2012
Asked By:kyana1000

Hello, 14 months ago I had a rhinoplasty to correct a bulbous nose, about 7 months after the surgery I got two huge pimples side to side on the right side of my nose. Before that the right side of my nose was very well defined and sharp looking. I popped the pimples and after that the side has become somewhat sunk, I no longer have the perfect definition I had on that side and the area where the pimples were is red it's now 7 months after. Did I ruin my results? Is there a chance it will heal?

Ronald J. Edelson, MD says:

My answer would depend on what kind of jaw surgery you need.  If you need to have your jaw cut, moved, and then wired shut, I would advise against performing the rhinoplasty at the same time. The issue at that point would be one of airway management since you would have swelling of both the...
