I had rhinoplasty done one year ago and from the 6 month mark on when most of the swelling had resolved I have developed a bossae and what appears to be scar tissue. I cry when I see photos of my face and don't even recognize myself anymore when I initially loved my results. My surgeon recommends shaving down the cartilage in office. Should I trust him or will it make matters worse? I am afraid to lose more of my nose, but I hate the way it looks.
So I have had two previous nose surgeries, 1. Septoplasty to fix my deviated septum. Unfortunately I received my surgery at a teaching hospital and I was.still experiencing breathing issues. 2. Septo-rhinoplasty to fix my deviation and remove dorsal hump. Unfortunately mysurgeon filled in my low nose bridge and now my nose bridge is wider and higher. My nose is straight but my left side isn't as easy to breathe and have to use cotton swab to remove the obstructions Can you undo high bridge
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?
My previous surgery was a fail and now i have a huge shapeless nasal bridge and a pointy tip. I had a collapse from my first surgery on one side so the new dr did osteotomies and put cartilage on the collapsed side. The thing is now it looks like a balloon. Can i get the bones and cartilage shaved a bit with revision or will it collapse again?
My first rhino resulted in the collapse of my nose on one side. The second rhino involved a graft which made my nose look thick, bulbous, and crooked. People say it looks fine, but I've never been happy with it since day one. Both of my prior surgeons were rhino specialists. Is a 3rd rhinoplasty worth the gamble? My main concern is the area of the graft, I just want to shave it down a bit so it doesn't look so thick on one side. Is this possible? What would fixing the side with the graft entail
Im 9 months post op. I had a bump on my bridge removed. I specifically told the surgeon i wanted my front view to stay the same. Well the area where the bump was shaved off is SO thin. I absolutely hate it. He said if he tries to fix it, it might get worse and end up too thick(cartilage graft). Temporary filler is not an option! Has anyone had successs getting this revised ?
I got a septorhinoplasy last year and it came out good except that there is a little bump on my 3/4 profile and when meeting up with my ent he explained that he will shave down the nasal bones and not the septum. Will this make my nose change from the side profile? Also will it make my nose skinnier by a lot cause I dont really want to make it any skinnier. Lastly can you shave down just the nasal bones and not the septum and if so does anyone have a video or a picture of a before and after
Ive had 3 rhinoplasties and a septoplasty before the rhinoplasties. After each rhinoplasty, the left side of the nose lacked cartilage and the right side cartilage had a bump and stuck out too far. Im 13 months since the third rhinoplasty. The left side of my nose looks better but the rib cartilage sticks out too far. The doc shaved the right side with a needle with local anesthesia but that didnt help as the bump is too big. What can I do to reduce the bump/cartilage on right side of nose?
