Mismanaged septum in primary (Photo)

May 5, 2024
Asked By:Shrewcifer in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I had a septorhinoplasty in 2022 that went terribly, leaving my nose frail, unstable, and still functionally obstructed. He appears to have removed my caudal septum, and I learned from a CT that a large part of my ethmoid plate is missing too. Meanwhile, the posterior septum is still deviated. What are the potential consequences of this? If I have revision, can they rebuild the bony septum? Help?

What can be done? Primary rhinoplasty gone wrong
Andrew Miller, MD says:

If you feel like your bridge is too flat and your tip too turned off, those are things that can be improved with a revision rhinoplasty.
