I had rhinoplasty surgery and I loved my nose but it was very crooked. You could see it and it really showed on the iPhone and not my Droid. My surgeon redid my nose and I asked him to keep my nose the same size but straighten it. He didn't do what I asked and now I hate my nose. Can it be corrected, yet again?
Because I know at least 2 incidents that the surgery was unsuccessful and their nose is still crooked and they have a hump in one side. What I wanna know is why is this difficult to achieve ?Is it because the crooked nasal bones aren't too much mobile or the blame is on the surgeon ? Which procedure would you classify as more difficult, straighten a crooked nose or a typical rhino (aka hump removal and correcting of the open roof) ?
Which board would best qualify a revision rhinoplasty surgeon for a 2nd revision from an original revision 20 years ago? I'm told my case would be complicated. I have nostril margin asymmetry, deviated septum, pinching in tip, over rotation, thin skin, crooked columella asymmetrical tip. I've seen:American Board of Plastic Surgery, Board of Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, Head and neck (ont.),ENT's, maybe others! Should I look for someone double or triple certified?
I'm really concerned that I'm going to need a revision. I'm only 3 month post op but I think my cartilage has warped. My nose was very large and bulbous before (I'll include before pic at the end). My table pics look amazing and I didn't start seeing the asymmetry until about 3-4 weeks post op when swelling started to go down. It has gotten better but I'm afraid at this point there's not going to be much improvement. Thoughts on this?? Is it swelling or will I need a revision?
I had a revision rhinoplasty after a seriously crooked and botched 1st nose. My nose has these bumps, and where I circled I can feel a gap of nothing there but on the other side I can feel bone. My surgeon thinks he can shave the rest down to even it out but I'm nervous.
Its been 5-6 months since I had my nose done. My problem is that my left side is skinnier than the right side. I dont know if its because of the swelling and because my nose was broken before the surgery and I had it done because my nose bridge was crooked. My nostrils are symmetrical but my nose tip isnt.
Hello. I had a rhinoplasty almost three years ago, from the side it looks great, but on the front it looks bad and kind of bumpy. Im worried if this will get worse and if I should have a secondary procedure. I also have a sort of bump on my nostril, when it touch it it feels like an indentation or scar on the inside of the nostril, that same nostril is more pinched than the other one, and the tip is a bit crooked to that side. My surgeon told me to settle for this.
I didn't mind my nose before but I asked the doctor to make it more symmetric. The doctor said my bridge should be narrower and the tip more projected. Now that the swelling has mostly gone I can see the result and I am terrified. It is more asymmetric than before and the left side seems totally collapsed. Also it's more crooked! It seems he rasped the left part completely off and left the right side of the bridge. The tip is more projected on one side and makes it more crooked to the left!
Had a revision rhinoplasty april 2023. Was under for almost 5 hours. Doctor said it was a difficult job. Deviated septum and prior reset from 30 years ago. It looked pretty decent until couple months back when swelling went down. Left bridge is visibly more narrow than right and a good bridge lump never went away. Left tip has a noticeable bump on cartlidge and left side is sore in general. Doc is out on maternity for 3 months. Is it too soon to seek out a diff surgeon? Opinions at 9 months?
I had primary and revisionrhinoplasty, with the last surgery taking place over two years ago. My tip, i find is uneven / crooked. the alar retraction makes the appearance look asymmetrical. I really dont want to undergo another procedure, especially under general anaesthesia. What are my options to correct this? My surgeon is saying leave it to avoid further disappointment. But this is causing significant distress in my day to day life.
