I was looking into getting rhinoplasty for a crooked nose due to a trauma case caused years back . I came across online that the memory of the nose cartilage can tend to shift back after rhinoplasty. If this does occur will my nose look crooked like it did before the procedure was done ? Or will it be slightly more crooked then the nose I came out of procedure with ?
I am currently 10 months post-rhinoplasty, and I have quite thick skin. In the first few months, the side of my nose shifted to the left, and I believe the tip also deviated in that direction. During a follow-up appointment, the pictures taken showed that the nose tip looked crooked. Since then, I have been taping it to the right. I will attach some pictures for reference. What could be causing this issue, and how can it be fixed? Does my nose look better on the recent pictures?
A few days ago I noticed a small little bump forming on the right side of my tip. It feels hard and almost pointy to touch. The only thing I've been doing differently is tanning in a tanning bed. Could this cause this bump? It's Friday right now and I didn't have it on Tuesday. I'm about 5 and a half months post op right now. Is it still possible for cartilage grafts to shift at this point? What could this bump be? Will it go away?
Hello, im a 19 year old male and i got closed rhinoplasty last year in may in turkey. my nose had a big bump and it turned out to be broken. but the surgeon made it 10x worse. I saw the crookedness immediately at cast off (1 week post op), but he told me it was swelling and it would subside. After 6 months i asked how it was still crooked, he told me one of the bones had shifted. Is this easily fixable? should i go for revision? i had done everything my doc asked me to.. what should i do
Help!! My whole nose decided to shift towards the left, leaving the cartilage on the other side to collapse. Months ago it was straight like a pencil. What happened? Can this be fixed with surgery??
In 2015, I had a rhinoplasty/septoplasty to help with breathing. I did not have any complications. Just over the past few days on the inside of one nostril it is extremely sore and I can feel a sharp edge which I think is a spreader graft. Is it possible for this to shift after so much time? thank you
Updated: 5 years ago, I had a columella strut graft (made from cadaver cartilage) placed in the tip of my nose in order to increase projection. Recently, I wiped the side of my mouth with the back of my hand, and in doing so, I felt the graft shift for a moment before snapping back into place. Is it possible that the graft permanently shifted? If so, would a surgeon be able to reposition the graft back to the same exact position it was in before it shifted? or would there be some variation? Thanks!
I always push and bend my nose in the opposite direction that it bends towards to see if I could make it a bit straighter or to simulate rhinoplasty. I was looking at pictures from a couple years ago and my nose looks bigger and more crooked now than before(I'm 19 so it's possible it's just growing). I'm wondering if the bending can cause my cartilage damage (bending, swelling, inflammation or nasal polyps) or cause my nose to droop or grow out of shape especially because I'm young.
