Had Rhino 2 weeks ago to reduce size of my nose to narrow the bridge and define the tip. I had my nose broken and open rhinoplasty.My nostrils were not touch. I cannot see ANY difference to my nose. Is it possible that my nose well reduce significantly in time to a defined narrow bridge and and tip? Surgeon wont C me until 3 months time when the swelling subsides. I suspect there is swelling but surly my nose will not drop to a thin nose from its current size 2 weeks after or is this possible?
Hello! Today is day 17 post-op and my nose is just the same bulbous nose that I had. Im very disappointed and depressed at this point and I feel like nothing will change. When I asked my doctor if this round tip will go with time he said he doesnt know because it depends on how my body responds. His answer made me even more depressed. My skin is thick oily and I know the swelling tends to be prolonged in this case, but why isnt there any change at all in the shape of my nose? What do you think?
I see so many posts about this issue. My hump is reduced but still apparent. I was expecting a straight bridge but I feel like Im $7000 shorter and my nose looks the same. The sides of the bumps are hard to the touch. Please advise.
I had open rhinoplasty on 8/29/08. Today my splint came off. My nose is straight but still appears to be the same size. I had a wonderful surgeon - no problem there! Will the size of my nose get smaller once the swelling subsides? Day one of these most important questions. Thanks for all that you and your site does for patients with complicated questions! Donna
I had open rhinoplasty 13 months ago to reduce & slim down the size of my tip. My ps told me most of the swelling should subside within 12 months. When I had the cast taken off, my nose looked amazing. Now, I can not tell a difference. I have even had family members comment & say they see absolutely no change. Now my nose is pointed more downward, but aside from that I still have the same tip. I took pictures the day before the surgery to compare & see no change. Should I consider revision surgery?
I'm 2 weeks post op, 1 week post cast off. The day my cast came off I still had a bump on my nose which my surgeon explained was swelling, and it has gone down alot since then. But i cannot help but notice it's just stopped! I wanted a slope effect and the tiny bump makes me so angry because i feel there's not even much difference! Can someone please tell me the average time for this to disappear, maybe in another 2 weeks? Thank you!
I got a rhinoplasty 16 days ago. I did not want any changes from the front just a small bump to be removed. Today my tip is way too high and my nostrils are showing a lot more after surgery. My surgeon told me to put an injert on the tip so it would not fall after I smiled that it would not change my front view he says I should wait. Today I am really worried. Should I be? How much more should I expect for the tip to come down?
I had a septum deviation surgery in my nose 9 months ago, first few weeks I was able to breathe perfectly fine, after a couple of weeks it came back to normal where I can only breathe from one side of my nose, the doctor gave me Nasonex, and a wash, it made no difference, what possible reason can it be ? Surgery failure ? I do sneeze a lot, and above all when I use otrivin they open and I can breathe really well however I can't use otrivin often only used it once cs it's not good Thank You
