Problems after nose surgery and the clinic’s excuses *Currently one month and two weeks after surgery* 1) I never usually had rhinitis, but after nose surgery I developed nasal congestion symptoms (I can’t smell well, my nose feels uncomfortable, and I sleep breathing through my mouth) Clinic>After nose surgery, the mucous membrane can swell, making breathing uncomfortable. This gradually improves over time. 2) My nasal bridge was slightly deviated overall (to the left), so deviated nose correction was also done, but they only straightened the bridge and left the nasal tip (septum) as it was. Now only the nasal tip is deviated. I wonder why septoplasty wasn’t done together. Clinic>The base is different, so that’s why. If you ask us to rotate the nasal tip, we can rotate it. If we do that, your mouth will look crooked. A deviated nasal bone can be corrected, but if the axis is misaligned, there is nothing we can do.. Therefore, because the axis is misaligned and it followed that axis, the nasal tip inevitably has to be deviated. 3) I don’t know if it is because they only straightened the bridge and the septum is deviated, but when I tilt my head back, the septal partition is visible between the left nostril. Clinic>The major swelling has gone down, but there is still residual swelling. It will gradually get better over time. 4) The left and right nostrils are different sizes. I know everyone’s two nostrils are slightly different. But mine are very noticeably different. From the front, the left nostril looks smaller and the right side is clearly visible, but when I tilt my head back and look, the left nostril is higher and larger. In my opinion, the only reason the left nostril is higher, larger, and even shows the partition is that the septum is deviated. Or maybe the costal cartilage is warped.. If not that, then maybe the septal suturing was done wrong. Anyway, it looks like there is a problem. Clinic>It’s because the base is different. It’s because it follows the axis. 5) The left cartilage height is higher. The left nasal mound is higher. When I touch it with my hand, I can feel that the left cartilage protrudes a little more. The right cartilage is smooth, but the left cartilage is not. Clinic>It’s because the base is different. That constant talk about the base.. and the axis 6) The slope of the left and right sides of the nose is way too different. The left side of my nose has a gentle slope, but the right side is much too flat. Clinic>It’s because the base is different. It’s because it follows the axis. Everything I ask about is different, but the answer is always the same.. 7) The glabella is too high. I look like a beast. There is no contour at all between my forehead and nose. It’s a straight line. I told them not to touch the glabella, so why is it this high? Clinic>We used 4.5 mm silicone, and it is silicone that does not raise the glabella at all. Did you know your glabella was originally high? That is your glabella, not an implant. - It’s not that I had no glabella at all, but before nose surgery, the line from my forehead to my nose was not a straight line. I had contour, is what I’m saying. Everyone, I need your help~ Was the surgery done well?? If I took pictures with a high-resolution digital camera, it would be clearer and easier to see.. Because of the fluorescent lighting and because these are phone-camera photos, the degree of nasal tip deviation didn’t show up as badly.. How does my nose look????????? It has already been one month and two weeks since surgery, but the ear where cartilage was harvested still has bruising. And it still hurts. There is nothing abnormal inside the left nostril, but only the bone in the right nostril is protruding. There definitely seems to be some problem, but the clinic isn’t saying anything, so I’m thinking of going to a university hospital to get examined. Thank you for all your advice~
