Nose changed shape years after - Why did this happen?

December 14, 2023
Asked By:savagenose in Scotland, United Kingdom

Had a rhinoplasty to remove hump 2017. Was happy with normal nose until 2021 where it changed shape with pronounced wings or lumps of the sides which cause a shadow halfway across nose. Why did this happen? No injuries or anything to the nose and too long after procedure to be related to swelling or healing

Is it possible to keep the nasal cartilage/bones and get a nose implant? I want it to look how it does when contoured (Photo)
Eric M. Joseph, MD says:

Osteotomies, or infracturing of somebody's nasal bones, tends to work well with dorsal nasal implantation. I believe that the combination of these two techniques leads to the best looking nasal bridge, both on front view and on profile. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
