I had a rhinoplasty to remove the hump on my nose over a year ago and the bump remained slightly so my doctor went back in to rasp under general anesthesia and now Im 3 months post-op and the bump looks bigger than it was before rasping. I thought by now, with my thin skin, the swelling would have gone down but is this permanent scarring? How can I get it to go away? I was recommended to not get steroid injectionsanything else work? Appreciate your help!
In my first rhinoplasty too much cartilage has been removed from the sides of my nose tip/ the stitches were pulled too tight. As a result, I have developed a lot of scar tissue on one side of my tip, which feels like a hard bump and is white with an indention next to it. The scar tissue also protrudes into the nostril. Is it possible to correct the unevenness in a revision rhinoplasty? I have very thin skin. If scar tissue can be removed, will it come back if the initial problem is solved?
I got the latera nasal implants over 2yrs ago, and from day 1 they have always been visible on the sides of my nose (I have thin skin). In the last 6 months, the bumps on the side of my nose have become harder and more visible. In addition, it's hard to wear glasses because it causes pain in that area. I am unsure what to do to get rid of these growths now that so much time has passed. Any ideas?
I am 1.5 years post revision rhinoplasty that left me with a very unsatisfactory outcome. My nose cartilage is crooked, my columella gone, but the greatest problem is the constant swelling and irritation. I'm very confused at what exactly is happening. I am very thin-skinned, but when I squeeze my nose it makes a squelching sound like it's full of edema. I'm unsure if this is scar-tissue, cartilage, or just edema here 1.5 years post. Thankyou for any thoughts
Im in my late twenties and has initial rhinoplasty 5.5 years ago. Ive been wanting a revision rhinoplasty for a few years but I always wanted to be 100% sure before I took the next step and actually sought it out. Two surgeons I really admired both recommended against me getting a revision rhinoplasty (both had only seen photos, though Im sure for an experienced eye that might be enough) without asking me what my wishes were. What are your toughts
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?
Is there a way to round the tip and columella more? I hate how straight it is. I told my doctor I didnt want that but he did it anyway based on his preference of what looks good. I think it looks unnatural. I have thin skin so I was going to get another surgery to add fascia and nano fat. Would that help? My nostrils are retracted (naturally and worsened through primary surgery) but the columella was angled in a straight out way after my secondary. I hate it. This journey has been a disaster.
I am going to have revision rhinoplasty. I had my first septorhinoplasty June of 2022. My tip is not straight and I have redeviation with dorsal hump. Can I successfully have desired improvement with closed surgery and with my thin skin is it possible to aesthetically get a straighter appearance?
