I had rhinoplasty(closed) a few months ago & the tip of the implant has been extruding from the incision inside my nose. My surgeon doesn't live anywhere close to me so he instructed me to remove the implant fully & cover my nose to reduce infection, so I removed it my nose went back to normal & really no side effects at all. I visited a surgeon here & he said that the incision is there but it's recovering quickly & that I have little/no risk of infection. Will i need to wait 6mths for revision?
I just had cartilage grafts put into my nose to help with the sides of my nostrils collapsing when I breathe. My question is how to these grafts stay in my nose. If it is with stitches, wont the stitches wear out and the grafts fall out. Or are the grafts put underneath skin or something, then the skin heals over them?
What stops an inserted rhinoplasty implant from sliding down the nose bridge due to gravity and weakens the skins on the nose tip and then even popping out of the patient's nose several years later? What holds implant in place other than the patient's own nose skin?
I had rhinoplasty on August 4th. The splint stayed in place for almost 2 weeks. My surgeon suggested to keep it for another week. After two days it felt little bit loose. Two days after that, it completely came off, I tried to put it again in its place. Is it going to affect the results?? (I have appointment to see my surgeon tomorrow)
There were 2 stitches in each nostril, one permanent on the outside, and one dissolvable on the inside. My PS removed the permanent ones on the outside 5 days after the procedure, and the dissolvable one fell out from the left nostril the same day. My PS said I will be okay as long as I don't pick at my nose, but I am still concerned. Will this negatively impact my results and allow my nostril to stretch out (potentially unevenly because the dissolvable stitch in the right nostril is still intact)?
I can't reach my doctor's office right now since it's too late. It's been >48h post surgery where I had a septoplasty, my nasal bones put back into place, and some other stuff I can't recall anymore. I had bilateral nasal packing put in. I was told it was absorbable. Some of it seems to have come out today and I was wondering if it should have and whether I should be concerned that it came out so soon. The doctor's office made it seem like it would be up there for a lot longer (like a week).
