Answer: Best Way to Evaluate Chronic Sinusitis Two Years After Rhinoplasty
Hi Dekotah,
You should share your concerns with your rhinoplasty surgeon. If she/he is not an ENT, then get referred to one. If you were my patient I would get a limited coronal CT scan of your paranasal sinuses. Good luck and be well.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and Sinusitis
Sinus infections can be affected by a deviation of the nasal septum, but not typically by changes made by most types of rhinoplasty. This is best evaluated by a surgeon who performs rhinoplasty as well as sinus surgery, to determine how best to address both issues.
Hope this helps.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and Sinusitis
Any obstruction of the passages that allow air to circulate within the sinuses can potentially cause sinusitis. The changes to a nose that are made during rhinoplasty - whether they be functional (related to breathing) or cosmetic (related to appearance) - are unlikely to either improve or worsen chronic sinustis. You would be well advised to seek the opinion of a sinus surgeon who will be able to offer you the best medical or surgical treatment for your ongoing problems.

Answer: Chronic sinus infection 2 years after rhinoplasty
This may be totally unrelated and incidental. However, any obstruction can cause chronic sinusitis. Continued or new deviation of nasal septum as well as scars at the opening of your sinuses can also be the culprit in this case. Best follow up with a Facial Plastic Surgeon or an Otolaryngologist for accurate diagnosis.
