Will Rhinoplasty fix septoplasty problems?
Treatments of septoplasty problems
Feb 21, 2023
Hi,I am so sorry you are struggling with these problems after your first surgery. When nasal passages constantly feel dry and bleed, often there is still some form of obstruction on the inside or sometimes a hole in the septum called a septal perforation. I would recommend getting evaluated by a facial plastic surgeon to see if you have any of these issues. A rhinoplasty can treat both and can actually open the size of the nasal airways even if the outside result is the nose looking smaller….
When do you know a rhinoplasty revision is inevitable?
Revision Rhinoplasty
Apr 26, 2022
Hi,I am very sorry you are not happy with the outcome of your surgery. I can see exactly what you are talking about in the photo. The bump is bone and or cartilage and it is not swelling. If you were originally happy with he outcome and now there looks like more of a hump it is because the tip of the nose has dropped. This is very common after endonasal or “closed” rhinoplasty. Endonasal rhinoplasty focuses primary on removing the dorsal hump and not on supporting the nasal tip frequently…
Hole on nostril after open Rhinoplasty – what can I do?
Healing incision after Rhinoplasty
Mar 28, 2022
Thank you for the question and the photo. I am sorry you are having issues with your incision. It looks like you had what we call an Alar Base Reduction as a part of your rhinoplasty. This is done to make the bottom part of your nose narrower and requires incisions like those on the side of the nose. The incisions usually heal very will but sometimes with the skin is sebaceous or has a lot of oil glands, the wound edges can pull away a little causing the appearance in the photo. This can…
Rhinoplasty before wedding – do I have enough time to recover?
Rhinoplasty before your wedding
Mar 10, 2022
Hi,First congratulations! This is actually a question that comes up a lot. Some of my happiest patients got their rhinoplasty less than a year before their wedding and were so happy they did. It gave them more confidence and they loved their wedding photos. To be safe I would give yourself 6 months but that should be plenty of time to achieve a nice result prior to your wedding. Looking at your photo I don’t see anything challenging about your nose and you have nice skin quality. I would see…
I hate my side profile, what can I do to fix it?
Making the perfect profile
Jul 27, 2021
Hi,First, I don’t think you have anything to be self conscious about at all. No one is born with the perfect profile and you have many great features. However, I do see a couple areas that can addressed to remove distraction and improve your overall appearance on profile. The nose and chin are out of balance making the nose look larger than it actually is. This is partially caused but some reduced chin projection and also by the nose being a bit short and over projected. This also leads to a…
