What can I do to reduce under-eye bruising after rhinoplasty?

January 23, 2015
Asked By:rhino_in_CA in California, CA

I had a rhinoplasty on Wed (today is Fri). I began bruising under my eyes IMMEDIATELY after the surgery, and my doc said I am more bruised than most patients. I've been icing round the clock like he told me to (while I sleep at night I've been waking up every hour to ice instead). My head is elevated, I'm taking the BS arnica, drinking lots of pineapple juice, resting, etc. What else can I do? The swelling is not so distressing, but knowing I am excessively bruised makes me feel bad!

Thomas J. Walker, MD, FACS says:

It sounds like you probably had a reductive rhinoplasty with cartilage excision. As you noticed, this can lead to a pinched tip with nasal valve collapse. The key in rhinoplasty is cartilage preservation, repositioning, and strengthening through grafting in my opinion to aesthetically improve...

Philip S. Schoenfeld, MD, FACS says:

I like your profile too.  The photos that you have provided are difficult to assess, however, they appear to show that line on the profile view that you are referring to is present on the preoperative view as well.  If your surgeon broke the bones on the sides of your nose,...
