I have a keloid or scar tissue that is growing inside the both of my nostrils where the incisions were. It is still growing, and I am afraid that it will start affecting my breathing. (I already can hardly breathe after my rhinoplasty 1+year post op). With that being said, my surgeon will be removing the keloid/scar tissue, but mentioned that it may come back. Could I prevent this by putting silicone scar sheets inside my nostrils? Is it safe?
I had an open rhinoplasty 3 years ago , and the scar edges detached from eachothers while healing process , i made CO2 laser for 13 times over 1 year , and i used silicon gel for 3 months too , and still the bad appearance of it exists , what is the solution ?
After 12 weeks of surgery, I had a cold and as I blew my nose I felt sth came down in my nose. I contacted my surgeon who was out of country and he said it is the silicone sheet hsd left left there to help form my nose and it must remain in the nose for six to twelve months. And that now it has come down I must remove it. I took it out and it was 3 cm long. Question how long does a silicone sheet need to remain in the nose? Did he simply forget it?

Seeking advice on post-op procedure and speeding up the healing process/ minimizing scars. It was stitched twice, 2 weeks apart, as skin did not uniting the first time. Should I start the silicon gel now or should I continue to use the steri-strips to unite the skin and hope that it connects faster? What would make the skin connect faster, the hole close and the scar to be minimal? Can I exercise? Can I do facials or mud face masks?
I've noticed that there is a white spot protruding on one side of my septum. I got rhinoplasty surgery in Korea early July of 2017 and am worried that this may be a excess cartilage of some sort? Would applying scar silicone gel help in this case or would I have to get it surgically removed/lasered?
