I had rhinoplasty, grafts and an osteotomy, done 4 months ago. One month in, I noticed that the right side of my nose was wider than the left. It wasn't easy to see but could definitely be felt. I went back to my doctor who had a look and said it could also be a blood clot that would resolve in time. The bump is still there and when I place some pressure on it now, I hear a clicking sound. Could it be that my bones have not set right? How long does it typically take blood clots to be resorbed?
I had a rhinoplasty 3 years ago, started to feel a painful bump on my nose after 6 month after the surgery (when I touch it), it's located on the right side, where cartillage starts. (I marked it on CT photo). I also feel the clicking sound when I massage that spot up and down or lift the tip of my nose. What is it?
Hi there :) I got a rhinoplasty back in June of 2021, so ive had some time to heal. Everything has been healing lovely but a little while ago I started to notice a clicking sound and movement in my columella when my nose moves far to the left or right. My doctor said that this isnt necessarily a structural concern, but im just worried that this is something really concerning or something that could change the shape of my nose. The last thing i want is another surgery and I just need some help
No grafts were used during the procedure. My hump was removed, my nasal bones were broken in order to close the open triangle roof after removing the hump, and the tip was rotated and de-projected. Now, 8 months later, my nose has been clicking/popping since day 1 after surgery. It click/pops about 5 times per day. No pain is associated with the clicking. I can't figure out where it's coming from, as the location of it keeps changing. I think it's coming from anywhere along my septum. Any ideas?
I am 3 weeks postop. Rhino included hump removal alar base reduction narrowing bone and tip and septoplasy. Recovery went great until day 11. I get this sharp throbbing pressure on 1 side of my nose ONLY that goes down to my front teeth. It's one of the WORST pains I've ever felt. Sometimes there's slight clicking sounds. It last for anywhere between 30 secs to 5 mins and I get it about 10x/day. On antibiotics and have a cream inside the nose that isn't helping. Is this normal? Will this pass?
I have a columella the strut placed for increased tip projection 2 months ago. when I smile or push on my lip, I can feel it click. I know this is sometimes common but could this be an indication that the graft is loose? I pushed on my nose a few weeks after surgery so I'm a little concerned. I talked to my surgeon and he said everything looks like it's healing well. would he be able to tell if the graft had shifted just based on a physical examination?
I have been having clicking problems with my columella strut and my surgeon came to a final conclusion after 6 months post op that is is slightly too long. one thing I dont understand is that when I move my upper lip I feel it moving around and if I push my finger where I feel it, it moves around, as if you can play with it if you will. I dont understand, if it goes into a pocket why is it freely floating and moving around? does it relate back to it being too long? I would like to understand
I had surgery Aug/10/12 so it's been over a year My doctor told me my healing could take up to 2 years , I have pretty thick skin and my nose area produces quite a bit more oil then most women's do, Here's what's happening , the left side of my nose has healed the least (it's smaller on the right compared to the left side) anyway when I eat after I wake up my nose clicks and it's painful . When I chew with the right side of my nose it's not a issue .
