I had rhinoplasty 10 years ago. Still till today I can't breathe from it, air is real tight to get in through nose, have to sniff a lot to breathe, very unattractive. Sunburn bothers nose a lot, causes a lot of pain. Have to use a neti pot 2 times a day to open up. The tightness causes a lot of dryness inside nose. Has made allergies worse. When breathe normal, breathing is loud. Feel lack of oxygen intake. What can be done, revision, meaning more money out of my pocket possibly wasted.
Looking if its possible to fix the outcome of my initial rhinoplasty. Dont even want to take pictures and i dont want to continue this its already been 10 years. Ive edited some pictures to show some desired outcomes. Would any of this be possible ? Any recommendations? I love my collumella show other than that, I feel I was jipped my first surgery! Thank you !
My nose has been deviated since I was a child. I had rhinoplasty at 17 to straighten my nose and remove the bridge. 11 years later I can still notice the deviation and I would like my nose to be a little smaller. My specialist said I would require cartilage from my ribs to permanently keep my nose straight. This scared me a lot. Is this the best solution ? Or can something else be done?
Hello everyone I had an open rhinoplasty 11 years ago and I have an L shape Silicon , I would like to change my implant to Gore tex and ear cartilage for the tip of my nose . My question is is it ok to undergo open rhinoplasty again for revision ? Im scared that Im going to have a necrosis if I will do have open surgery again . Thank you for your time and answer .
40, female. Had my first rhino 10 yrs ago. Developed scar tissue on the lower left cartilage. I also have breathing issues + deviated septum now. Considering a septo and minor revision to tip. Is it worth doing the cosmetic part? Will I see any improvement, or am I just risking more asymmetry? Can this be achieved via a closed approach? Will swelling be more manageable bc no bones will be broken?
Hi, I had a rhinoplasty 11 years ago. My nose was shortened 2-3 mm. I cannot blow through my nose on the right side (nothing comes out) although I can clear my left side. The right side is harder to breathe through too and seems slightly collapsed. What causes a blockage of one side of the nose, so that you cannot blow your nose on that side?
I had a revision rhinoplasty 10 years ago and got a good result, functionally and aesthetically. However, I still notice subtle changes in my nose over time. If I look at photos from a year ago, there is more swelling than there is now. My question is, will this ever plateau? Everything I read says the final result is apparent in 2 years or so, but this definitely doesnt seem to be the case with me.
