Considering a rhinoplasty this year. I understand that surgeons recommend using saline post op. My issue is when I use a saline I become very sneezy and nose becomes itchy on tthe inside (almost allergy type feeling). What can I do to minimize discomfort caused by saline post op? Are there specific types of saline that are better?
Its been 2.5 post open rhinoplasty and about a week ago my nostrils & columella started developing redness, itchiness and irritated. I saw my surgeon 3 days ago and he prescribed me clindamycin antibiotic along with triamcinolone cream. I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen or experienced this post rhinoplasty? Is this an allergy? Could this be an infection? Im highly concerned and worried that this will effect my overall results... Thankyou
I had gore-tex implanted on the bridge of my nose about a month ago. My skin is been peeling and itchy. My bridge is red as you can see. I dont feel any pain or tenderness on the area. Is it just sensitive new skin or is it an infection?
I had open septoplasty surgery done 8 days ago and I still have my cast on, I cant get an appt with my surgeon till December, can I take the cast off myself? I had to go to my doctors to have my stitches removed today, I have no swelling as I can see or feel, Im still bruised a little & have blood shot eyes! My nose isnt hurting but the cast is becoming very uncomfortable, itching & feels very sweaty under there!
I started getting an itchy skin around the corner of my nose around 13 days post my rhinoplasty. I think it may be due to the glue left by the tape but i am afraid that it may be something else? is applying fuicidin on the region helpful in such cases? (I wouldve asked my surgeon about this but I traveled few days post my operation and it is difficult to contact him)
Hey doctors. I keep overthinking a lot and this has been stressing me out and giving me a lot of anxiety. I know that I only have an L strut left and am just concerned how well connected it is without becoming loose. If it is so easy to harvest cartilage maybe it can become loose easily especially because there in only a very small amount at the caudal area. Sometimes I have to itch my nose inside with my finer gently and am nervous the septum will become loose...It really concerns me?
post op and my nose is EXTREMELY itchy inside. I always catch myself subconciously 'scrunching' my nose side to side, up and down to relieve the itch. I never thought anything about it until now but i feel like it may be ruining my result. please help. thanks in advance.
I had my surgery Friday, and my splint removed Tuesday. When I got home Tuesday, I used saline nasal spray to moisten and gently remove the dried blood from inside my nostrils. That evening, my incision started itching like crazy (maybe saline dried it out?). Sutures have been working free since yesterday (Tuesday). I'm afraid all the irritation is wreaking havoc on my incision and will result in a bad scar. How do I calm this irritation down? Can I use Aquaphor?
