It has been 1 month post op. I had septorhinoplasty and turninotes reduced. My right side was where the most work was done on (the dip). I now have scar tissue in both nostrils. Left nostril is pretty big an blocking nasal passage. Should I wait it out or get steroid injections? My DR said to do tapes and compression and wait a few months. The problem is I am now having trouble breathing. Also, I have a dip on right side. He said it is swelling. What can I do to resolve this?
Hi! Im a week and half away from being 5 months op and it seems to be the cause of my swelling is mostly the heat. My nose swelling was more down the first few months because it was still cold where im from now that its hot the swelling came back big time! Can I use cold compresses on my nose regularely without causing any damage or is it risky?
My nose cracked when I was punched in my nose accidentally. My nose is bent in my left side, I don't know what it's called. I tried to cold compress it after I was punched in my nose accidentally. I tried massaging to correct it's shape while I'm doing cold compress. I heard a few cracks after I applied a bit of force pressing the both sides of my nose. There's still a part of my nose that is still unfixed cause' it hurts when I massage the left part of my nose. How do I fix this without a surgery?
I just had my cast removed after my closed procedure rhinoplasty and everything seemed great. In the evening, my nose started bleeding profusely. It continued for roughly 20 minutes until I was able to get it to calm with a cold compress. The bleeding also created really bad pressure in my sinuses (ears, nasal, and behind my eyes). Some pressure was relieved when I spat out a large clot. Should I be worried something is damaged or wrong? What do I do if it starts again?
Dear doctors I had rhnoplsty 16 months ago. It ws a big one I hve a very wide nose + vry thick skin. My bones where broken my nose was shaved down. First it was good but I noticed it looked croocked. my nose was never crkd and upturned. My surgeon it will go away in years. It improved but very little and very slowly. I need to knw wht it is and how can I get rid of it or at least make it heal faster. (I tape my nose to hide it)( I still have hard stiffness on the sides of my nose) Kind regards
I know it is a common recommendation to use icing for the first few days to help with facial swelling after rhinoplasty. However I was wondering if after a few days when you have stopped using ice, if warm compresses would be helpful? Or would they have no effect, or a negative effect?
Hello. I had rhinoplasty done yesterday and my eyes are extremely puffy and dark. How many times a day and for how long should I put a cold compress on them? Also, I start school in 2 weeks and I'm hoping the dark circles go away but if they don't is it okay to wear makeup over them or will it affect my results
