I'm seeking advice on concerns following my rhinoplasty in 2020. After significant swelling, I've noticed a V-shaped bone at the top of my nose and a saddle shape of bridge. I've used temporary fillers, but I'm hesitant to continue this approach. My previous surgeon suggested removing part of the V-shaped bone, but I'm unsure if that will help. Are there alternatives, like closed rhinoplasty, without using ear cartilage? What would recovery look.
Im 8 months post op after having a lateral osteotomy, medial osteotomy, tip plasty using septal cartilage, hump removal, and SMR. My nose is completely different to what it was at 8 weeks and 4 months post op to what it is now. It has grown back bigger, the hump is back, my tip is uneven (due to swelling? I cant tell) and am i possibly slipping into saddle nose? Why does it look so bad now compared to 8 wks/4 mths? What happened? Talking to the surgery who did it has been unhelpful
Hi, I suspect that my nasal dorsum is undeveloped and that my nose appears saddled. Could experts please provide their opinions based on images of my nose? Does it need dorsum augmentation? Additionally, could you check if my nose is small compared to my face?
I had a lot of trauma in the tip and columella area that caused my nose to turn upward and become wider than it already was before. And retracted columella. Also had nasal trauma injury where I had a hard pull to my nose and seemed to cause a bit of saddle nose worse than I already had and footplates poke out more now. Is it possible to pull the columella as far as the picture below and suture it to be pulled together more? I would like to keep my bump and the roundness since I am mixed w black!
I have this indent on my nose I asked bout it before I was told it was a deviation/ mid vault indention. I mention that was apart of my original fear as well as saddle nose. I've attached a lot of photos of both sides of my nose the right side having the indent at certain angles as you'll see it isn't noticeable but at others it's extremely noticeable please help
I am going to get reconstructive surgery for saddle nose. I'm getting swelling, weird smells and discoloration outside of my nose. This is due to an awful mistake on my part. Should I inform my surgeon about the pulled stitch? I do not their for fear of my reconstructive surgery won't be covered if i do so. Thanks in advance
I travelled to Trkiye last year to get a rhinoplasty. I had a very bulbous nose and thick skin. The doctors and clinic assistants said that results can take up to 24 months but Im getting concerned as one side appears to look like a saddle nose deformity. Ive been to a doctor a few weeks ago to check up my nose but she said there are no holes or serious structural damage.
had a review with my surgeon last month but hadn't really noticed it then. At review had a steroid injection right side due to scar tissue/inflammation. My nose post surgery had looked relatively straight (pic uploaded) but I am not sure if that was because of swelling/inflam and now that has reduced the dip is more noticeable? My surgeon looked up my nose at review and said it looked ok and breathing is fine. Appreciate opinions and advice on this, have also contacted my surgeon :)
Hi, I underwent a septorhinoplasty and the surgeon lowered the bridge of my nose without my knowledge. He also shortened my nose and resected cartilage from the lower tip. The nose is now short, paradoxically wide despite narrowing the bridge with bulbous tip and unnatural round nostrils. I wonder what could be done to improve it. He also doubled my septum so its very hard and unpleasant. I am thinking about filler to the bridge to mask the tip but worry about its migration. Thoughts? Thanks!
