Dear Doctors, I have desired to get a rhinoplasty for years because of how large my nose looks from the front, and especially from 3/4 view. However, I notice most doctors will focus on changing the side profile drastically, which I really happen to like in my nose. I do not like slopey turkish-style noses, or extremely thin and straight noses either. I like lines, bumps and natural shapes. I have considered african-american specialists for this reason -- is that a good idea?
I am 20 months post op and I feel that my nose is getting worse with time. I am experiencing a dip in the middle of my nose, uneven nostrils and retraction, a bulbous tip and unaesthetic dorsal aesthetic lines. I feel like the bridge of my nose is also not even and I can see and feel asymmetry especially in photos. How can this be fixed and why is this happening now? I have thick skin and have received 3 steroid shots at 6,9 and 12 months. My surgeon wont tell me why this is happening !
I am 24 years old and I had a rhinoplasty operation 5 years ago and I had a fleshy nose. Now my nose is very pointed and upturned and I don't have the natural lines on both sides of the nose. I wanted to see if a surgeon can create these lines through nose reconstruction and Make it more natural for me ?
Hello, I've posted before about asymmetry that I had on my nasal bridge after rhino. This has corrected itself but now I'm wondering if these harsh lines on either side of my nose tip will soften up or is this permanent and due to the rib graft that they used? I still have a lot of swelling in my tip, 5 months post up this month.
My rhino is a disaster. My nose had 3 Kenalog injections, in months that followed the surgery. Since then, my nose has lost any refinement & is so swollen! I do Not wear glasses and have never bumped it or hit it. Why would I have a dark line across the middle? Bone issues? Necrosis? Nothing makes it go away. Besides the aesthetic failure, is there something else that is going on?
There are indents on the right (scab didn't come off till 18 days later and the place where the last part of the scab fell off is where it is indented) and a very dark purple/brown line towards the left nostril. Is this normal? I've started to use scar gel but will it improve over time? From the looks of it, it looks like the scar will be prominent. Please advise if there is anything I can do to improve this.
I am looking for help on what might be the cause of the problem with my nose. Two years ago I started to notice my nose get crooked, it wasnrt obvious at first but as time has gone it its gotten worse,I have had no physical injuries however accompanied with cartilage pain such as touching my nose / laughing. More recently, I noticed theselines going down my nose tip which were never there before, and I dont know what they are. Is it possible to remove these lines?
I'm almost 6 months PO, but I can already tell how much worse my nose looks. The new shape and curvature of my nose are less attractive and more wrong for my face; especially when smiling. I think the tip is too straight and narrow, and bridge is too rectangular and wide. Also, my columella is very droopy and round, giving the tip a clover look. The aesthetic lines of my nose are now very convex and less feminine. There may be supratip fullness. Will things smoothen/sharpen out?
