I had a very obviously deviated septum and trouble breathing through my nose. After shaving turninates and clearing some scar tissue, breathing is great. The deviated septum at the bottom went right back however, and when I put on Vaseline or have a booger, its still so deviated that the two sides stick together and bug me. My surgeon said she can do local anesthesia (or put me under again) to fix it once I hit 6 months post-op. He says the nose will be held together and strong enough by then to lift the skin up on that side and cut the cartilage down and sew me back up. Just want a second opinion that there isnt risk to losing the tip or structure of my new nose if we shave this little bottom part. It doesnt seem that the protrusion goes very far and that its just the foot that stick out.
i had a rhinoplasty which causes alar rim retraction, i then had silikon 1000 places on both side to correct the problem, however now my right nostril was over corrected. is there a surgical fix for this that can be done under local anesthesia. Filipino doctors say its possible but the american doctors i have found seem to be hesitant.
Hello, I had a rhinoplasty done in Dec 2023. Im now 11 months post op but my bridge is not straight like I wanted. The tip has a bump (button) because of its projection. My surgeon offered to deproject my nose in office under local. Is that safe?
Ive had rhinoplasty x3 revisions. Overall nose improved but since last revision, there is a persistent shadow on the nasal tip- sometimes its so prominent that once someone told me I have dirt on my nose. When I touch it, the cartilage has a sharp step off. The first few months I loved my nose because it was swollen and you couldnt see this. Issue started after steroid injection. Is this an easy fix that can be done with local? Or is it complex better left alone? Won't go to original doc.
I have had two revision rhinoplasties and am interested in getting my tip revised. Currently it is drooping and boxy. I would like the tip angle increased. My last revision was over 2 years ago and included a cartilage graft. Is this possible to have the tip done under a local anesthesia and who would do it in southern california?
Will rasping help get rid of scar tissue? Is it true that it will only look good for 1-2 months but then develop contour irregularities ? I have scar tissue that my doctor suggested shaving down however im concern it will be worse or come back. Or is a full revision best?
Hello my caudal septum pushes into the right nostril and my tip also is noticeably lower on the side my septum is pushing? If it possible to trim the caudal septum and reposition it without going under general anesthesia? The last time I was under general, I became violently I'll an had to be hospitalized afterwardz
Not disfigured, just disappointed. Had septorhinoplasty 3+ years ago for deviated septum and nose that pointed to the left. Goal was to breathe better/nose look straight from the front but still look like me (not smaller; keeping bump). Breathing hasn't really improved. Bridge is fine but the tip is noticeably larger/droopier and swells throughout the day. My nostrils seem to flare. Could steroid injections or liquid rhinoplasty help? Or tip plasty under local anesthetic?
Good morning Doctors, A year ago I had rhinosectoplasty surgery. However, I noticed that there is a small bump on the right side of the nose that is very hard to the touch and makes the nose look strange to me (I don't know if it is fibrosis or bony callus or something else). I was wondering if it would be possible to remove this bump by local anesthesia and approximately how much it might cost. I would also like to know what you think of the final result. Is it a good result? Thank you
I had a a cheek lift, lateral canthoplasty, under blepharoplasty, direct brow lift, buccal fat removal, & chin lipo all at once under local anesthesia 8 days ago. The swelling is pretty minimal & not really noticeable at all aside from some bruising around my eyelids. I want to get a revision rhinoplasty next week also under local anesthesia as I am overseas & dont have much time here. Itll be 2 weeks between both surgeries. Is that enough time to do it safely?
