I am extremely prone to sinus infections especially when i fly (which is every week for my work). I am considering a rhinoplasty and wondering of it can/ will help correct/aid in solving my frequent sinus infection issues. If yes, please shed light on this
Since my Rhinoplasty 16 months ago iv had continuous sinus infections, with a foul odour inside my nose. The tip of my nose has been getting harder and harder over time and is now enlarged red In appearance and extremely painful to touch. My GP and the ER are hopeless and keep sending me home, so I applied tropical numbing cream, sterilised it and poked a 27g needle into the very top of my nose and a lot of puss came rushing out! What could be the problem here and what should I do?
I'm a 32 y/o woman and seriously considering rhinoplasty. I feel like it looks hooked when I smile and seems to slightly angle to the left. I recently discovered my breathing ability in the left nostril is 70-80% of my right. I get sinus infections a lot as well. Would this warrant getting a rhinoplasty? Also I feel my chin looks too prominent esp when I smile. Should this be corrected too, and if so which procedure would accomplish this? Fyi, no history of injury/surgery. Thanks!
I am prone to sinus pain and infection when I fly. I am considering surgeons who are out of state and all of them have told me that it's ok to fly back immediately after stint removal which is 7 days from day of surgery . I am afraid flying may increase my risk of infection and also discomfort. What's the best course of action? How many days do you recommend your out of town patients to stay in town for rhinoplasty? Please provide rationale
I will be needing a functional rhinoplasty, since I have a deviated septum, hypertrophic turbinates, paradoxical middle turbinate and sinusitis. I am also looking to fix a few aspects of my nose in terms of aesthetics. According to best practice, is it recommendable for me to first resolve the functional aspect through an ENT, and then to wait some to receive another surgery by the plastic surgeon? Or is it safe for an ENT and plastic surgeon to operate on me during a single operation?
I have a sinus infection for over a month now. I have tried antibiotics, sinus rinse, over the counter drugs. Not sure what to do. It is not too bad, but my nose is very sensitive internally currently. I get this quite a lot. I have rhinoplasty in 3 weeks. Will this be ok?? Obviously will check in with my surgeon a week prior if it is still there.
Went to the dr he did an office exam said I have a deviated septum which is the cause for migraines over left eye and sinus pressure in cheeks and back of neck. Ct came back doctor said I have healthy sinuses even though I had a sinus infection 4 weeks ago and avoided the deviated septum question when I brought it back up. He referred me to a Neuro Optometrist. I feel like I am back to square one and am extremely frustrated. Can someone please help guide me.
I had rhinoplasty/septoplasty 1.5 years ago. My nose size was reduced and my breathing worsen since the surgery. I started getting colds/sinus infections every 2 months sometimes every month. First I thought it was work stress related. But now I am thinking there is something wrong with my nose. I didnt get colds that often before. Can rhinoplasty cause constant sinus infections?
