Two surgeries by ENT-nasal valve stenosis, concha bullosa surgery, septoplasty with turbinate reduction. Currently, nose seems like a pig nose..more upturned, short, very bulbous & wide. Suggestions??
I had a septoplasty, bilateral turbinate reduction and sinus surgery (fluid removed on one side and cysts removed in the other). Immediately after changing my first bandage, my family noticed the tip of my nose was turned up, resembling a pig snout to some degree. The doctor said the appearance of my nose would not change prior to having the surgery, but the tip has drawn up. Could this be due to swelling and/or plastic splints that are still inserted? Will my nose return back to normal??
It has been two years since I had a septoplasty for a very very crooked septum. After my last post things started kept getting worse, the tip still feels/looks like it is falling and it burns and is swollen. My nostrils are flaring,the tip is more bulbous than before and my septum is flattening due to the weight of the tip pulling it down. I have a horrible feeling it is nasal collapse and I am developing the dreaded pig nose and new breathing problems.
I had septorhinoplasty a week ago to remove a hump and the cast is comming off tommarrow, although my surgeon said that he was not going to alter the bottom of my nose i.e the tip and nostril etc... as there was nothing wrong with them, when i look in the mirror the nostrils are wider and lifted making the nose look piggy. the whole nose looks much smaller. I am upset as i did not want him to change the bottom of my nose,or make it smaller, my smile looks wierd a bit stretched and evil?
