I'm 43 days post-op. My surgeon placed a graft (ear & septum cartilage) on my bridge. He also put grafts (ear cartilage) in my tip and columella and performed alar base reduction. 1) The shape of my nose appears quite rigid and unnatural. Will it diminish in size and appear more natural in the next few months? 2) Will they return to comfortable and soft? Will I ever feel like it's my own nose again?
I had an open Rhinoplasty 5 weeks ago and I really don't like the way my nose looks. I had my nose made smaller, nostrils narrowed, made it come to a point and the bump removed. It looks some what okay in the mirror, but in photos, it just looks big and wide. Is this swelling? How can I determine what's swollen? One side is a little larger than the other and there's an indentation on the left side.
I'm 6 weeks Post-op and I've been gently swabbing the inside of my nose with a cotton swab to remove mucus. It doesn't hurt at all but I'm wondering if doing this will affect my long term results, or even cause short term swelling. Thanks!
I got a rhinoplasty almost 6 weeks ago to get rid of a bump on my bridge, and make my front nostrils less bulbous. Here are the pre/simulated and post op. He states it's swelling however, I'm aware 60-70% of swelling is gone within the first month(he told me). My main concern is my upturned nose and low bridge. Will my bridge get higher in side? and my nose drop alot more? my nose is no longer hard, but soft only my tip is slightly hard. My nose also hurts when I smile, or move it slightly.
Nose is quite sore and will not stop running. I have been blowing it gently. My nose was already still swollen before the cold and now it has really puffed up. Just wondering if this will effect my healing results or just make it take longer for the swelling to go down?
Hi there, I am a Caucasian young woman who has had rhinoplasty six weeks ago. The swelling in my nose had been so bad I could breathe very well until recently. However one nostril I can breathe very well out and the other I can only a bit, I had closed rhinoplasty but had a lot of work done. Do you think this aysmetrity is swelling or septal issues? Let me know, ( Ive included a photo of my nose straight out of surgery before the major swelling) I appreciate all opinions. Thank you guys!
I had rhinoplasty almost 6 weeks ago and my nostrils are uneven and the tip is still high and piggish. The doctor has told me it will drop but to wait for it. I was just wondering if it will drop or even out?
I had rhinoplasty 6 weeks ago, and I hate the results. My doctor advised due to me being anemic there were complication as I was bleeding a lot and my tissues were not working with him. However he still deems this as a successful operation and advised the complications wouldnt affect the result. However I dont know whether he is just saying that or if its true. On cast removal I instantly regretted the operation however after reading several reviews felt abit - see comment section for more
