etsy Moore,Thank you for the question. Based on the information you provided, you need to see an ENT doctor soon. Your symptoms may be indicative of a serious medical condition and you need to be evaluated as soon as you can by an experienced doctor. Good luck!
Thank you for the question.This is a complex problem and the cause for the holes needs to be determined before any repair/reconstruction is attempted. The holes need to be evaluated with CT/MRI, endoscopy, and biopsies.Reconstructive options will include transferring tissue (referred to as flaps) to address the palate. The septal defect may be more complicated depending on the available tissue and may require a 2-staged procedure involving cartilage grafts and flaps. It is best to consult with an ENT and Plastic Surgeon before considering treatment.
Dear Etsy, this could be a very serious problem. If not already done, it is important that the edges of the septal and palate holes get biopsied and blood work done looking for autoimmune and vasculitis conditions. If these have been done then there are ways to reconstruct the palate and septum. The simplest way to manage the palate defect would be a denture with an obturator that fills the hole so what's in your mouth doesn't get into the nose. Hope this helps. Keep me posted
Hello,What you want is not called 'lengthening the columella'. It is actually lengthening the caudal septum so that your columella sits lower than the ala, and will also shorten the philtral length. So, yes, it will improve your lip aesthetics too. Best of luck!
Hi, Thank you for your post. Fillers can definitely help with your profile but it will not help with the downward slope of the tip. You are a great candidate for a rhinoplasty. This will allow the surgeon to refine the tip and straighten the bridge of the nose. I would schedule a consultation w...
Thank you for your post. It is difficult to accurately assess what you are experiencing without knowledge of what work was done and going off of pictures alone. I would recommend addressing your concerns to your operating surgeon and closely following the post-operative instructions given, ...
What you are noticing has to do with the curvature of the underlying cartilage that supports your ala. It appears from these photos as if your cartilage has a concave curvature. You would need a proper nasal exam to confirm this. This curvature is correctable with surgery. See an expert...
I recommend my patients avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 3 weeks after surgery. They should be very careful to avoid bumping the nose for at least a few months.
