Dear doctors, after revision rhinoplasty where a small callus was grasped in a closed procedure with no osteotomies, how long afterwards should you not wear glasses? As a regular wearer of glasses I was wondering whether it was weeks or months.
I had rhinoplasty a year ago. I have a bump on my bone on one side that is visible. I can also feel a bump on the other side too but it is in a different location, making it not really visible or bothersome. The bump on the one side bothers me and creates weird light reflections and a shadow underneath it in certain lighting. I'm worried this is my actual bone and rasping will just do more damage. My doctor said rasping could leave me with a dent but is willing to do it. Is it a good idea?
I had 2 revision surgeries already. All were small changes that brought me closer to my ideal nose but I still feel my nose bridge is high and the radix starts too high. I want a more lowered nose bridge that has a scooped look. Would rasping be an option here or would I require another revision surgery? Would rasping affect the tip at all?
Hi I am nearly on my 6th month post asian rhinoplasty with Rib cartilage, and I am unsatisfied with the results. It has really affect my mental health, I am so embarrassed and self-conscious on my side profile. My nose radix appear too high and the bridge aswell. considering I have a small face and being asian, it does not balance at all. I am thinking of nose rasping to shave off too much graft? would it be less expensive? if so how much will it cost in Perth, WA?
My surgeon says he doesn't do it but that he has heard that it is a technique used by others. I'm wondering if this even works and if it is in fact a technique used to shave down the bone, or is rasping the only way?
38 year old female. Had rasping on left side for small bump 17 years ago. What can I do to improve my nose? I have a different profile from each side. One nostril is thicker and my cartilage deviates to that side more. Would it be considering revision to have another procedure done?
I had rasping done on one side of my bridge because there was a bump leftover. On the same side where I had rasping, my tip seems to still be bulbous. I'm going to see my surgeon in a few months but I'm unsure if this is fixable due to my thick skin and I can't really afford another surgery. Is there any hope at all?
I had a primary rhinoplasty 11.5 months ago and up until 6 months, my dorsum was straight. After that, a bump has revealed itself. I had a f/u appt with my surgeon and he informed me that he could rasp the bump down and this would correct the issue. My question is, based on my photos, does that seem likely to resolve the issue? I have read some things online about rasping potentially leading to an open roof deformity, does that seem likely with the size of my bump reduction?
I had a primary rhinoplasty two years ago and am not satisfied with the outcome. Although the rhinoplasty did correct (to some degree) my droopy nose tip, I'm disappointed with the overall appearance of my nose - particularly the way it looks in oblique view. My surgeon recommended rasping to correct the bumps on the bridge and the slight indentation on the tip. I didn't have a positive experience with this surgeon and am seeking other guidance on how best to correct these issues.
9 months post op I have flat patch on bridge of nose, visible bumpy edges, a hump Dr wants to revise using fine rasping which i dont believe will fix the problem, he also hasnt said its open roof i believe it is from my own research
