In 1997, I had nasal surgery in which a silicone implant was placed on my nasal bridge. I think my septal cartilage grafts dissolved over time, only on one side and now that implant appears as a bump. I have had facial X-rays and CT scans for other reasons and I don't see the silicone implant in my nose.
I've been having nasal / septum pain for 2 years, along with trouble breathing in the affected nostril, strange smell, bleeding, green and sometime clear mucus, slight facial pain. I got injured in Martial Arts, told my family doctor and had to wait a year to see an ENT. I was disappointed when he only took 5 minutes and didn't do an endoscopy. Tried to forget and decided to get invisalign. Dentists took panoramic x ray and wondered if this looks normal? Getting 2nd opinion soon.
I went to an ENT to get help on my breathing and snoring problems.Sleep Apnea was ruled out. The ENT said i had Hypertrophy of Nasal Turbinates but the middle curves to one side. He suggested surgery so i asked about getting my nose smaller at the same time. He said insurance wouldnt cover unless i had a deviated septum which he said i don't. What options do i have? I have a long face but want my nose to match. I have really good insurance and i am willing to cover costs myself.
Had crooked medpor nasal implant removed. Whatever was used to affix the implant is still there. I can physically feel some sort of k-wire or metal in my nasal bridge still on my bridge, in addition to a hard metal plate. A CT scan for a crooked septum revealed nothing. What imaging will reveal the metal affixing devices still in my face/location, so I can plan a final revision/anticipate risk if I ever undertake a diff.procedure (e.g. paranasal implants)? #k-wire #titanium #rhinoplasty #imaging
I have orbital rim implants & want to get rhino to make my nose narrower, break nasal bones and bring them closer together what if the implants are placed so close to the nasal bones? I always see the nose job bruises under the eyes and I wonder if my implants may make the bruising worse. I wanna know if the nasal bones can be broken with the implants intact
I got an x-ray of my knee and the growth plates are closed but the ones in the wrist are still open. I thought the knee x-ray closes last. I checked to see if my nose has stopped growing so i can get a nose job.Is it true that if you grow in height your nose grows too
my dogs head hit my nose. My boyfriend said he heard a cracking/ popping noise. It immediately started bleeding horribly so I went to the er. The X-ray said it's not displaced but it was reccomended that I see and ENT when the swelling goes down, I have an appointment on Monday. I am worried because 6 years ago I had septo/rhinoplasty and I believe they put fake cartilage in my nose to reinforce its structure and after being hit the tip of my nose is numb. How bad of a situation am I looking at?

I was elbowed on the bridge of my nose and suffered a cut. The initial exam by a doctor indicated there was no fracture which an x-ray confirmed a week later. It's now been almost 3 weeks and while the swelling has gone down and the cut pretty much healed, I'm left with a rather obvious bump on the bridge of my nose. Should I be concerned that the x-ray and exam are wrong? Is it possible to have a bump form on the bone without a break or fracture? Please advise next steps. Thanks, Zach
