I had primary (closed) rhinoplasty 6 months ago as well as a turbinectomy. I'm now having problems breathing as it feels like there is something blocking my nose. I also feel a lot of stretching/pulling/tugging inside. When I look inside, I see bands of skin that seem to be pulling inward (bottom outer area towards the center of the nose). These seem to be getting tighter as my nose heals and with that, it's getting harder to breath. Is this scar tissue easy to remove? How is it done?
Answer: Post-operative adhesion between the septum and the lateral wall of the nose where the turbinates used to be

Answer: Recommend having a revision done to address the issues Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.
