Question

Answer Snippet
What can I do to reduce Rhinoplasty swelling?
Swelling
Dec 20, 2015
Thanks for your question.- In general, you want to wait 12 months for your final result- The swelling is often more on the side that was operated on more- The swelling will start to decrease, first between your eyes, and finally at your nasal tip- Ice and gentle massage are the easiest ways to help accelerate your swelling that you can do at home- Injectable steroid can also accelerate the healing process, consult your surgeon for thisBest of luck!
Is my right nostril collapsed?
Nostril collapsed
Dec 20, 2015
Thanks for your question.- You want to wait 12 months, in general, to wait until all of the swelling is decreased- Moving quickly to treat irregularities so soon after surgery may lead to further issues- As mentioned below, there are several ways to treat dorsal deviations of both the bony and cartilaginous nasal dorsum- Consult your surgeon as they can explain what exactly was done and why the swelling pattern is what it is at this point.Rhinoplasty is all about patience.
I’m 6 months post rhino (alarplasty,osteotomies & hump reduction), but I’m not happy with results. Can
Revision rhinoplasty
Dec 16, 2015
Thanks for your question.For several reasons, you must wait at least one year before considering a revision. With your skin, it takes that long to achieve a final result. After one year, consult your surgeon and come up with a set of clear goals. You will want to pursue a surgeon with experience with ethnic noses and revision rhinoplasty. Give this one year, your goals may change once the swelling is decreased.
Is there any exercise to build the nose bridge again after a rhinoplasty?
Exercises
Dec 14, 2015
Thanks for your question.I would give the process more time, some patients can take up to one year after surgery for all the changes to occur. There are no exercises, but there are non-surgical methods to build the dorsum of the nose including fillers. I would give the process some time before considering treatment. I would also communicate with your surgeon as they can give you additional support and information.
Are there any treatments or even creams I can get to lift my eyelids? I can’t afford cosmetic surgery r
Upper eyelid rejuvenation
Dec 14, 2015
Thanks for your question.There are many treatments other than surgery for upper eyelid rejuvenation. The starting point is prevention, no tanning, smoking etc. Ideally your board certified oculoplastic surgeon/facial plastic surgeon/plastic surgeon puts you on a regimen that consists of hydrators, moisturizers, serums, and sunblock to start. This builds a foundation for the rest of your life and really optimizes any further treatment that you receive. Moving along the…
Rhinoplasty recovery time?
Recovery
Dec 11, 2015
Thanks for your question and pictures.Your question is very common and reasonable. You will be wearing a nasal cast for 1 week. Once the cast is removed, the external nose will be swollen/bruised for around 2-3 weeks, more towards 2 in a young healthy person like yourself. The inside of the nose may be swollen for 3-4 weeks. The swelling will then go down with time, usually the top of the nose between the eyes goes down first and the tip is last. Subtle swelling…
I’m due to have septoplasty and turbinate reduction on Monday, and I have a bad cold. Should I postpone
Bad cold
Dec 11, 2015
Thanks for your question.I think you should follow-up with your surgeon about this matter. Personally, I would not want to perform surgery on someone with an active URTI (cold). For a surgery like what you will be getting (elective), there is no urgency, get the surgery done when you are both mentally and physically optimized. In the meantime, fluids, bedrest, and hydration should speed up your recovery.
