I have really thin skin and my tip is shrinking too much. It is pretty obvious he removed less cartilage from the right side, at almost the middle of my tip, a bit more to the right, I feel cartilage that is trying to poke through, there is sometimes a white spot there, especially when I smile the skin there blanches. What can I do? Will this only get worse? My surgeon didnt use fascia, should I have a revision with fascia?
I got my first rhinoplasty sevenyears ago when I was 15 and I got my revision two years ago. The revision was to fix the hanging columella but instead it also rose one of my nostrils on the right. My main issue it my side profile, the supra tip seems so high & squishy to touch, will this maybe go down w time/steroid injections? I hate the right side so much bc the nostrils so high and looks longer than the left side.
I had a revision tip plasty almost 2 years ago and for the last six or so months my nose will get really cold at the tip and my thin skin shrinks tight around the nose and then you can see irregularities and the white cartilage through the skin at the tip. I have thin skin which happened after a poor primary but my revision (different) surgeon didnt use fascia. Its driving me crazy because it happens even in low 70s. Im worried about winter again. Any suggestions? My surgeon shrugged it off. Would dermal fillers would be a good alternative to lowering the nostrils and creating a barrier so when it gets cold it wont show the irregularities?
I am a 36 female who had a septoplasty to fix my deviated septum but now have an inverted V. Planning on revision in Dec 2021. I am concerned about thin skin in middle of nose. Surgeon is planning on cartilage grafts but I wanted an opinion on alloderm or fascia over the graft due to thin skin and shrink wrap effect after rhinoplasty. If I were your patient, would you use Alloderm or fascia? Regarding cartilage used, would you use donor cartilage or my rib cartilage? I am concerned with chances of warping or extrusion of donor cartilage. Other areas of concern besides inverted V deformity are drooping tip and large flaring nostrils and dorsal hump. Any other suggestions or opinions on work needed?
I had primary Rhinoplasty w rib cartilage & DCF to build a nose bridge & define the tip 11months ago.I love how my nose look when I first got it done but my nose keep going lower & shrinking as its healing and now at 11th month my nose is almost as my original nose.why does cartilage shrink too much and when will it stop getting smaller.I feel like I need a revision Rhinoplasty and is it possible revision Rhinoplasty will add more cartilage to build my nose higher & longer?
How likely is this? Does it all depend on the patients nose/scar tissue/etc.? Im hoping for a revision to give my nose back its tip and length and I am a little nervous for the possibility of the cartilage shrinking or the rib warping (if Id need rib). And if anyone has experience with this please let me know.
Had a revision rhinoplasty about a year and a half ago. Surgery was done was open rhinoplasty. After all this time my tip is extremely bulbous and hanging down which was my problem in the first place. Post up it looks different but still horrible! Could it still get better with time ( since it was revision I heard it takes longer ) and could steroidal injection help at this point .
HI I have had an open rhinoplasty about 1.8 years back to reduce the size of my nose but since last summer my nose shrink a lot and looks small on my face which doesnt look now im thinking about revision and I discuss with doctor he said its possible to increase the bridge By putting the later of a tissues instead of using rib cartilage or ear cartilage is it really possible I never heard about this method before please let me know thanks
I had a revision rhinoplasty 6 years ago to add more structural support for my nose but I can still feel/see the effects progressing each year as I have thin skin. Does it usually level off after so many years? Are there any alternative methods to help with this besides further surgical intervention?
