Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is spontaneous regression of upper lateral nasal cartilage injury possible?
cartilage resorption
Feb 18, 2019
It's more than likely that the injury caused some minor weakening of your lower lateral nasal cartilage and buckling, which could explain the indentation you ended up with. These types of injuries typically to not reverse themselves, and if you are experiencing pain and bleeding at the site you may have an infection/folliculitis around a nostril hair. This may require further medical attention and I would recommend and evaluation by an ENT, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon
Is this uneven swelling, will the front of my columella even out and drop a bit within time? (photos
post op swelling
Feb 7, 2019
4 weeks is incredibly early after a rhinoplasty. Based on your photos there is a considerable amount of swelling and this can alter structures that may have been left alone.
It is incredibly difficult to be patient after a rhinoplasty for the final results, but it can oftentimes take up to a year for the nose to settle down. Make sure to continue with icing and regular follow up visits with your surgeon.
Why does my nose look the same a year after surgery?
Why does my nose look the same after rhinoplasty
Jan 11, 2019
When subtle changes are made to the nose, and especially the tip, the final result depends greatly on your natural skin thickness and the healing process. Everyone's healing process is difficult to predict as is the amount of scar tissue that is formed after surgery. Without pre and post operative photos it is difficult to provide much more information, but it may be that your natural skin thickness is the greatest limiting factor. Post operative swelling, while normal, needs to be...
1 week rhinoplasty : putting pressure on the nose to make it straight, what are you thoughts?
taping and pressure to help a nose heal straight
Dec 21, 2018
There can be a tremendous amount of swelling after a rhinoplasty, especially after the cast is removed. Unfortunately, even the nose does not swell the same on one side as it can on the other and asymmetry during the healing period is incredibly common. Taping is a very common and effective technique to encourage the swelling to stay to a minimum as prolonged swelling leads to scar tissue if not adequately addressed. This is why so many rhinoplasty surgeons insist on icing as much as...
Would it be possible to get the old nose tip back?
getting old nose back
Dec 21, 2018
I'm sorry that you are unhappy with your result from your surgery. Healing from any procedure is an emotional experience and can be hard to navigate.
It's difficult to give someone back their "old nose", exactly the way it was before as cartilage has been reshaped and in some cases removed entirely. If you are trying to soften the appearance of the tip of your nose you will likely require cartilage and soft tissue grafting from your ear and/or temporalis fascia to build the tip back up...
Nasal implant removal - How long do I have to wait until I could put fillers in my nose?
How long to wait until filler for nose
Dec 17, 2018
Firstly, this would depends greatly on the reason why you had your implant removed in the first place. If you were beginning to have issues with infection, skin thinning or extrusion of the implant I would be hesitant about placement of filler in the nose at all as this may increase your risk of a complication, specifically tissue necrosis as the blood supply to the nose has been altered. If you do decide to move forward with filler to the nose I would be very cautious and lean...
Do I Have The Tyndall Effect? 3 weeks post. (photo(
tyndall under eyes
Dec 17, 2018
You seem to have filler that has been placed a bit close to the surface and causing the puffiness that you see. Based on the pictures that you have I do not see a Tyndall effect, but there may be some chronic skin discoloration or bruising. In darker skinned patients the skin itself may be discolored and may or may not improve with filler to the tear trough area. You also may have fat herniation which can lead to a prolonged swelling in the tear trough area. In patients that have fat...
Is my nose tip too high after rhinoplasty? 3.5 months post-op
rotated nasal tip
Dec 14, 2018
A columellar strut graft can come down a bit more as it is not secured to your septal cartilage. You do have thicker nasal skin which holds onto swelling longer than someone with thinner skin. You're still fairly early in the post op period and I would recommend giving your nose the time to heal. Remember, it takes up to a year sometimes even a year a half to completely heal from a rhinoplasty.
Will my tip and nostrils even out?
tip and nostrils evening out
Sep 6, 2018
5-6 months out from a revision is still fairly early and the fullness in the nasal tip may continue to come down. The asymmetry of your nostrils is likely due to a mismatch in cartilage at the tip of your nose. The hanging tip that you see may come up slightly as you are still recovering from your most recent revision. Before rushing into a third procedure, I would recommend waiting a full year to ensure no further changes to your nose occur.
Possible to get protruding columella and infratip after tip being over shortened? What cartilage is
protruding infratip and columella
Sep 6, 2018
The changes to your nose are visible, but a revision rhinoplasty will not guarantee a return of your original nose. From your pictures I do not see a mid-columellar incision, but these frequently heal so well they are almost invisible post operatively. You could have cartilage grafts placed in the desired area, but I would say rib would not be necessary for these changes. If you still have nasal septal cartilage in place, you could use this or your ear cartilage. If you decide to...
I had revision rhinoplasty 1 week ago. Nose sides are too swollen. Is this normal?
swelling after rhinoplasty
Sep 6, 2018
Your are very early in the post op period, and if you are one week out, very likely your nasal splint was just removed. Everyone always swells immediately after the splint is taken off and the swelling can increase if you attempt to do too much physically or are out in the sun excessively. If you feel bone where the swelling is, that is likely the site of your lateral osteotomies or where the nasal bones were broken and this can take months to calm down.
I always recommending...
When will my alar crease be evident after rhinoplasty?
alar crease
Sep 6, 2018
The are around the tip of the nose can hold on to post operative swelling for a frustratingly long time. While the initial healing and majority of swelling after a rhinoplasty calms down at a reasonable pace, the full results can take from one to one and a half years depending on amount of surgery, skin thickness, and if it was a revision or not. The key is to be patient with the healing process! You've made it through the hard part already!
My PS told me that I don't need to lift my tip after removing the hump. He told me the nose will look sho
lifting nasal tip
Sep 6, 2018
Changing the tip, or rotation, of your nose depends on the final look that you are going for. Currently your nasal tip is in a good position. Making your nose look shorter or longer with a dorsal hump reduction would depend on the amount taken off and if anything is done to the tip at the time of surgery. I would recommend that you go through your photos with your surgeon using morphing software so that he or she can be more clear in the anticipated results.
Asymmetry after rhinoplasty and “dip” near nose bridge, 2 weeks post op, will this go away?
asymmetric rhinoplasty result
Jul 26, 2018
Two weeks post operatively is very early in the healing process and asymmetry that is apparent early on can subside as the swelling calms down. The swelling by your eyes could be swelling if lateral osteotomies were performed. The dip that you see looks like uneven swelling. It's possible there was a graft placed along your nasal dorsum, and this could be a reason for the asymmetric swelling. The best course of action would be to follow up with your surgeon as prescribed. Keep icing as much...
Can my lip be revised after mucocele surgery? He hit a blood vessel and caused tissue to die.
tissue loss after mucocele excision
Jul 26, 2018
Hello, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. It does look like there has been tissue loss. You could consider a small wedge excision of the area where there has been tissue loss or try a temporary filler to see if this addresses the issue as well. There is a small chance that further surgery may results in a similar result, so make sure you see a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who has surgical experience with the lip.
