I had a septoplasty last July and I found that one side of my nose is still quite hard and there is scar tissue along the inside of the incision line. The nose tip is still fairly hard and looks droopy when I smile. Is this a normal part of the healing process? Even though its been almost a year and a half post op? My doctor said there nothing we can do about it and that it is completely normal even though its a tad uncomfortable. Will this be permanent or is it normal? Thank you:)
My nose is a bit goofy, and ill probably end up getting deviated septum surgery eventually because one side often hurts. But one other thing I've noticed about my nose is how much it widens when I smile, its like there is no rigidity to it. I don't mind a big nose, but it is a little annoying when I smile. Can a deviated septum procedure help this? Or could I fix this issue while also fixing the deviated septum? Oh yeah, I would definitely prefer a permanent fix, not Botox.
I had septolasty, sinus and turbinate surgery. ENT said he could even out my dorsal hump at same time. After swelling went down over a year ago, I have several dents on the bridge of my nose and the tip seems to have dropped. My nose looks huge when I smile. I'm got engaged and am looking to do something about my nose without breaking the bank??? I've attached a picture of what my nosecond looks like and what I'd like it to be. Thanks
I had major septal reconstruction and rhinoplasty to remove the hump on my nose 4 months ago. My surgeon said I was VERY deviated and that my septum was completely to one side and a 5/200 case. My nose is as hard as a rock now. My smile has not shown much improvement in the last two months. He says this is due to stiffness and NOT because of nerve/muscle cutting and that this will clear in 1 yr. Is what he is saying true? I'm very depressed because I loved my smile.
Sixth months ago I had a septorhinoplasty to straighten my septum and reduce my nasal hump. No tip work was performed. However, I think my septum has moved back and as a result my nose looks quite crooked. I think if the tip were less deviated it would look more symmetrical? Also I think the caudal septum is poking through on my right nostril and pushes my nose in that direction when I smile. Would a second septoplasty correct the issue? My septum is just like it was pre op now.
My surgery failed about a month after I had it done. Now my nose is worse than it was before I had the surgery. I have no idea how it collapsed so fast after surgery but I had the impression it was going to fail because my outer skin was really stretched around my septum putting a lot of pressure on it. This made things uncomfortable especially when I would smile and laugh. I was wondering if this could have been responsible for the septoplasty failure.
Hi! I'm 24 years old, and two years ago I got a septoplasty and turbinate reduction for a deviated septum. Upon consultation, I was told casually that he would adjust the tip of my nose during the procedure and I distinctly remember him telling me he would. Since the surgery, I've hated my smile because my nose looks completely different. I never want to smile anymore. What should I do? Thanks
If not, what rhinoplasty procedure would be best for me? One nostril is wider than the other and it affects my smile/ frown lines. My nose looks slanted. It looks like it is sliding off my one side of my face. I feel my best side is when I slightly turn to my left. The pictures that I have attached are of me looking as directly into the camera as possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
