Three years ago I had an implant of cadaveric rib cartilage placed on the anterior right side of my septum to increase air resistance. I can feel the added volume when I touch the septum. Two years ago I began experiencing chronic burning pain on my right septum. Using a torchlight I noticed that the painful area has a spot of mucosa thats become thinner, less bulky, and whitish compared to the surrounding mucosa. Could the implant be causing these changes over time? What might be the cause?
7 months ago, I had rhinoplasty. The doctor used rib cartilage. I wanted a narrower, defined tip. Also a defined bridge and slightly more narrow. But mainly I wanted a defined tip. Initially there had been some change. But after about 4 months it started to look like my old nose. 7 months on, I have seen minimal change to the tip. am so disappointed I would not have a second surgery. Will steroid shots work?
I have done a rib rhinoplasty and at the moment I can not live as a normal sport man. I want to fix myself. Is it possible to transplant rib cartilage to mine? Please help me if you have any information. Thank you in advance.
I had rhinoplasty in Korea 7 years ago to raise my bridge using silicone and nose tip projection using cadaver rib cartilage + own ear cartilage graft. I've been noticing a significant reduction in the projection of my nose tip around 4 years post op. While I miss my old profile view, I'm still overall happy with the results. My nose has been healthy throughout without complications, I'm wondering if my tip has been stabilized, I would be concerned if my tip contracts further.
Hi! I gotten my rhinoplasty done in Korea. Originally I wanted to do my rhinoplasty with rib. I gotten a bulbous correction, lifted the tip and raised the bridge. My dr said that he would have to use both rib cartilage and silicone for my surgery because of the results I wanted that using rib would make my nose too straight(not what I wanted) so he placed rib cartilage in the tip to make it stronger and silicone on the bridge for the curved effect. Wondering if anyone can share their opinion?
Hey doctors, I had primary that was a success in the beginning, my nose was made small and cute. Unfortunately, with time it collapsed. Another doctor build my nose up with RIB and stretched my skin with 5 mm, making it bigger than my own birth nose. I feel so depressed over this. He used a SPLF graft over the bridge. I have an awful high radix and bridge now. Looking too masculine. Is it possible for me to get a smaller nose back? Solid rib was used. Thank you!
Hello, I have done rhinoplasty with rib cartilage grafting 8 months ago, the doctor removed the cartilage from the 5th rib partially. And now, after 8 months, I still can't sleep on my right side and I have pain during activity, and by contracting the right pectoral muscle, I get neuralgia and stiffness of the trapezius on the same side. What do you think is the problem?
I did my silicon/rib rhinoplasty in nov 2022 in korea and im very happy with the results. But i recently noticed that my septum is swollen. ive seen ent on 22 september and put on a 14 day antibiotics and topical omniment but its not getting better. i can feel pain when i touch the tip and part of my bridge. is my rhinoplasty infected?
Dear doctors, I would like your advice. I am 35 years old and in 3 months time I am going to undergo a closed rhinoplasty with rib cartilage. I was planning to have children at the end of this year, beginning of next year. Would you advise me against continuing with my rhinoplasty? How long should I wait after my rhinoplasty to get pregnant? Thanks in advance!
