Hello, I had my stitches and cast removed yesterday (6th day after surgery) and now I have found 2 blue stitches that have not been removed.. my surgeon is in another city and I have an appointment with him on the 21st can these stay in that long with no problems?
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 was hit in the nose 8 days ago and recieved a broken nose on the bridge and 5 stiches. After 7 days I went to my local walk In clinic to have the stiches removed. He was only able to remove 2 as 3 were not ready and was told to come back in 5 days to see if the remaining 3 were ready to be taken out. He also advised me to keep a bandage on. Will keeping the bantage on effect the stiches from healing the wound? Im scared that the stiches will not be ready to be taken out and the wound may reopen.
Bottom stitches are absorbable sutures. I had a scar revision on nose bridge 4 weeks age. 3 week age I had the top superficial stitches remove and now I have marks (holes) where stitches where. Will this heal?
I already have a decent nose to begin with, so I only wish for more of a slope to it as it is currently straight, which makes it seem a bit masculine, and I also wish for a smaller nose tip. I doubt my nose tip would have to be raised as my nose is already upturned, but I've heard rhinoplasty can lengthen the philtrum, in which case, should I do rhinoplasty first and then a lip lift? Or vice versa in case my lip lift stitches affect how my nostrils look, as I've heard can be the case?
4 weeks since my open rhinoplasty and the scar is very visible from every angles. had it in Slovakia and it is hard to go for follow up. worry the surgeon is not competent as we had a 2 mins consultation (first time) before operation. Nothing change (wanted smaller size, width (alar), tips down, etc) like a pig (nose tips got shorter after surgery). nose was smaller and pointer before. Am I eligible to ask for revision surgery How long should I wait before complaint. What can be done to improve?
I'm a healthy 26 year old woman who lives a healthy active lifestyle and maintains my physical appearance. About 5 years ago I had a rhinoplasty. In surgery it was decided to use an implant in my nose, and now I am experiencing swelling, slight discoloration at the tip, and tingling. I immediately returned to the surgeon who did my nose. He says this is likely just an infection to a permanent stitch. I'm worried the implant itself might be infected. What are your thoughts?
I was in a car accident last year September and have been getting the run around with over 20 doctors. Either no one wants to work on me, or they need a team ( im missing teeth and need bone/gum graft ) I have a cheek indentation due to the left side being pushed back. My nose from initial emergency room was not resetted and was stitched back on poorly. I was told by the ER doctors that they would not revise or start my teeth until this spring. Spring is here and now everyone is saying 2 late. Follow up to question: https://www.realself.com/question/new-york-new-york-columella-retraction-car-accident-tip-lopsided
I thought I had a clogged blackhead because it was so deep and dark, but it was located at the tip of my nose. It was hard to extract since I had tiplasty where they use ear cartilage to build my tip. It stayed for the whole month and it bugged me at lot because it was a the center of my nose which was very noticeable. I ended up trying to extract it and found out it was actually NOT a clogged blackhead. Instead a white plastic-like thread/stitch/suture came out. I am freaking out please help
