Reason Im asking here and not my surgeon is because he terminated our relationship. I bought a camera to look in my nose. Its been 10 weeks since surgery. Is this a permanent suture? It doesnt look like ingrown hair but its underneath my skin and I would like to know what it is. Thankyou
Got a primary rhinoplasty 6 months ago. Looked great post cast removal and I was swollen but even. One of my nostrils has a strange lump on it, slightly whiteish. It is soft and not sore to the touch but aesthetically, my nostrils look so different :( Can anyone advise what this might be and if it will resolve? My nose doesnt change much now day to day. My surgeon said it may resolve but has anyone had an experience similar? Thank you.
In my procedure, septocolumellar suture was used without grafts. I read that, in TIG method, tip drop is less likely to occur after surgery and that some residual stifness in the tip is permanent. I would like to know if the same is applicable for septocolumellar suture.
Can I get a tip plasty using only suture techniques? I have a bulbous tip with thick skin and would prefer minimally invasive and preservative procedures. I am interested in changing my tip projection, lateral Crura/dome width and maybe alar base width and nostril shape subtly. Is this kind of procedure still relevant in the medical aesthetic field? I have read studies but many are ten years old or older, and would like to know updated information . Thank you
I wanted to know if it is possible to unsuture my current nose cartilages that have been placed onto my septum,and have them released and repositioned in the regular cephalic way in which a nose naturally is positioned, but be held together by fascia acting as a form of interdomal ligament. I understand that I need extended spreader grafts to elongate my nose and reposition my tip downward like it was before, but can that be done to hold everything together. I want my nose to droop when I smile
I'm a very private person and only shared with immediate family that I had a facelift, brow lift, lip lift and rhinoplasty that I traveled interstate for. One aspect of my experience is weighing on my mind and I wanted another perspective on it. I was left mortified and in hiding with a blue suture clearly visible from the inside of my nose that hung out the center of my nose. I was told to live with it & it would take several months to dissolve. Is this a normal experience?
Hello, my surgeon used the tongue in groove during my primary septorhinoplasty with prolene sutures. My columella is completely flat, no nostril show. I loved my columella before and taking this away was never discussed. My surgeon said the sutures could be removed and everything would fall back down. I am 6 months post op and he said to wait until 6-9 months. He admitted to never cutting the sutures in a patient before. What will happen once they are cut? Thank you!
I have noticed that some surgeons use both dissolvable and permanent internal sutures for rhinoplasty. Some surgeons only use dissolvable internal sutures. What are the advantages and disadvantages to using permanent internal sutures for rhinoplasty?
I thought I had a clogged blackhead because it was so deep and dark, but it was located at the tip of my nose. It was hard to extract since I had tiplasty where they use ear cartilage to build my tip. It stayed for the whole month and it bugged me at lot because it was a the center of my nose which was very noticeable. I ended up trying to extract it and found out it was actually NOT a clogged blackhead. Instead a white plastic-like thread/stitch/suture came out. I am freaking out please help
