Subcutaneous scars after rhinoplasty. Postoperative period of rhinoplasty: what is possible and what is not? Hump ​​after rhinoplasty

Kira (34 years old, Nakhabino), 04/09/2018

Good afternoon Tell me, is it normal if after rhinoplasty I have a low temperature for several days? They didn't warn me about this at the hospital!

Hello! A slight increase in temperature after surgery is normal. Typically, in the first two to three days after surgery, the temperature remains at 37-37.5 degrees. The temperature should drop on the third day after rhinoplasty. If this does not happen, we advise you to contact the clinic where you were operated on.

Georgy (36 years old, Moscow), 03/21/2018

Hello! Please tell me, is it possible to return the nose to its previous shape after a bone fracture? Thank you!

Hello! Yes, rhinoplasty allows you to return the nose to the desired shape, but plastic surgeons do not work with bones. Rhinoplasty can only visually improve the shape of the nose, make it smaller or change the shape of the nostrils. ENT surgery will help change the bone.

Vigen (32 years old, Moscow), 03/18/2018

Tell me, how long does it take for the nose to heal after plastic surgery?

After surgery, bruising and swelling may occur, which may spread to the eyes or other parts of the face. Swelling goes away in 7-10 days. At this time, physical activity and exercise are not recommended. Immediately after the operation, bleeding (from the nose) may occur, but this is only the consequences of soft tissue trauma. Bandages, as well as splints, are removed 14 days after surgery, and tampons are removed during this period. Some patients experience severe pain when removing tampons, so pain medication is often used. Within a month, swelling of the mucous membrane can be observed, so breathing will be difficult. After the swelling goes away, breathing will resume. On average, the result after surgery can be assessed after 6 - 8 months. In rare cases, the result of the operation is assessed after 12 months.

Alevtina (24 years old, Moscow), 09/15/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I have a very small nose. Is there any way to increase it? Will this affect breathing?? Thanks for your answer, Alevtina.

Hello, Alevtina! Rhinoplasty can help solve your problem. We can enlarge your nose, maintaining its shape or changing it based on your desire. Come to us for a consultation and we will discuss the expected results of the operation. Rhinoplasty will not disrupt the respiratory processes, since the structure of the nasopharynx is taken into account during the operation.

Alexey (30 years old, Moscow), 09/13/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! Is it possible to correct facial asymmetry (due to a strongly curved nose to the right) with rhinoplasty? Thanks for the answer, Alexey.

Hello, Alexey! In practice, rhinoplasty will help you regain symmetry, but an in-person consultation is necessary to get an accurate and clear answer to your question. You can make an appointment with us and we will conduct a full examination and discuss the likely outcome of your rhinoplasty. It is also important to understand whether the nose is crooked from birth or due to injury

Lyubov (35 years old, Moscow), 09/06/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! My daughter has a very large nose and she suffers greatly because of it. Is it possible to have rhinoplasty at 15 years old? How will surgery be different at this age? Thanks in advance, Love.

Hello, Love! Unfortunately, rhinoplasty is performed only from the age of 18. The reason for this is the growing up and formation of the child’s body. The formation of the skeleton is completed, and this process must be completely completed before surgery occurs. Try working with a psychologist, and then come for a consultation when your daughter turns 18.

Evgenia (25 years old, Moscow), 09/01/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! Is it possible to straighten a displaced septum and remove the hump at the same time? Problems arose after a broken nose. How long will rehabilitation last? Best regards, Evgenia.

Hello, Evgeniya! Yes, it is possible to carry out both operations at the same time. Only in rare cases are two stages prescribed, which are carried out with an interval of one month. The postoperative period takes about two weeks, during which time bruising and swelling should subside. Hospital stay usually takes no more than three days.

Olga (22 years old, Moscow), 08/30/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I heard that the result of rhinoplasty can be affected by the condition of the skin. This is true? If I have problem skin, should I not have rhinoplasty? Thanks in advance.

Hello! Yes, the condition of the skin is one of the factors that are taken into account before undergoing surgery. The fact is that poor skin condition can lead to unpredictable complications during the rehabilitation period. You can undergo treatment with a dermatologist, and after that make an appointment with us for a consultation, where we will discuss the advisability of surgery.

Hello, Galina! There are two types of rhinoplasty: open and closed. In the first case, a barely noticeable mark may remain on the septum, but with proper care they disappear after some time. In the second case, all manipulations are carried out without violating the integrity of the skin. Which type of rhinoplasty is appropriate in a particular case is decided only by a plastic surgeon after reviewing the tests and examination.

When planning to change something in your appearance, you should pay attention not only to the desired result, but also to the possible difficulties of the recovery period, as well as ways to avoid them.

Callus after rhinoplasty– these are growths on the outer and inner sides of the nasal skeleton caused by its damage during surgery. They appear if an osteotomy has been performed, and in some cases require additional treatment, including repeated surgery. Why do such formations arise and what is their function? Can they pass on their own? Are there reliable methods of prevention? The site studies the information and shares its findings:

How and why is callus formed?

It is normal for our nose to heal after damage, incl. surgical, occurs in several stages:

  • Initially, a fibrocartilaginous skeleton grows on the injured area, the main task of which is to hold the broken bones in the most motionless position. This is a callus, and it appears both on the outside of the damaged area (periosteal) and on the inside (endosteal).
  • The formation will increase in size until it ensures reliable fixation of bone fragments: the less mobile they are initially, the faster growth will stop. Externally, it may look like irregularities and bumps on the bridge of the nose, a sudden hump, asymmetry of the sinuses, etc. - depending on the exact area where the surgical injury occurred. In uncomplicated cases, this stage takes 2-4 weeks.
  • The next step is the formation of the so-called. intermediary callus - it arises between adjacent parts of damaged bones and gradually grows them together, grows with blood vessels, thereby ensuring complete healing. This process is not visible from the outside; its progress can only be judged by X-ray data.
  • After 6-8 weeks, the fusion ends, after which the periosteal and endosteal growths that have fulfilled their functions are significantly reduced, and in many cases, they resolve almost completely. There are no noticeable deformities of the nose, if any were present during the healing period.

Thus, the appearance of callus after rhinoplasty is absolutely normal and contributes to the proper healing of damaged areas. With good fixation of the fragments, the entire process takes no more than 2 months, leaves no visible marks and ends with the formation of full-fledged nasal structures that are resistant to external mechanical influences and fractures.

Problems arise if the periosteal growths grow too actively in size and become denser. This may happen for one of the following reasons:

  • The cartilage and bones with which the work was carried out are poorly fixed and are in constant movement - for example, due to an incorrectly applied bandage.
  • The patient’s violation of the surgeon’s recommendations in the early postoperative period: any external influences on the nose, attempts to scratch it under a cast, severe sneezing, active physical activity, etc. lead to displacement of bone fragments that have just begun to fuse and enlargement of the callus.
  • Traumatic surgical technique. The more damaged the skeletal part of the nose was and the less gentle methods of its reconstruction were used, the higher the chances of complicated healing.
  • Individual characteristics of the body. Some people have a genetic tendency toward increased growth of cartilage and fibrous tissue, similar to the tendency to form keloid scars.

Healing in such conditions takes much longer - up to six months or more; the periosteal formation often grows excessively large and massive, and does not decrease even after complete fusion of all bone structures, leading to visible changes in the shape and contours of the nose.

Is it possible to remove it and how to do it?

As a rule, patients begin to panic 1-2 months after surgery, when, firstly, the callus reaches its maximum size, and secondly, the main swelling goes away and you can begin to examine your new nose in all details. But if during routine examinations the surgeon does not see any “crime” (for example, excessive growth of bone tissue), then there is nothing to worry about. Any formations that form during the recovery period after a nose job may go away on their own - doctors recommend waiting 6 to 12 months before doing anything else.

However, sometimes already in the first weeks of rehabilitation it becomes obvious that the growth is growing too intensively - an experienced doctor can easily diagnose this situation during an in-person visit. In this case, it is better not to delay treatment in order to avoid further surgery. The first step is usually to prescribe one of the following drugs:

  • Diprospan. It is used in the form of subcutaneous injections. The effectiveness of the product is associated with its ability to reduce the severity of inflammatory reactions, thereby preventing the formation of large periosteal growth.
  • Kenalog. It is administered intramuscularly. Belongs to the group of corticosteroids. The main active component is triamcenolone acetonide, like Diprospan, it has an anti-inflammatory effect and softens connective tissue.
  • Traumeel S. For this reason, a homeopathic remedy is used extremely rarely in surgical practice. It is used both externally as an ointment and internally (tablets, drops). The effectiveness has not been scientifically proven, but has been confirmed by clinical observations.

In addition, physical therapy may be prescribed: ultrasound exposure to the problem area using steroid ointment, etc. – such procedures also reduce the severity of inflammation and the size of the developing callus.

A follow-up examination is carried out ~1 year after surgery. By this time, any growths on the outside of the nose should have resolved. If defects remain, further treatment tactics are selected based on their size and impact on the aesthetic result of the operation:

  • Small irregularities caused by the presence of periosteal formation can be corrected with the help of fillers (for more details, see the article “”). Injections provide a temporary result and the procedure must be repeated every 6-8 months - as a rule, this option is used as a temporary one, while awaiting surgery or if there are contraindications to it.
  • The main way to remove old callus is repeated surgery, which involves mechanical removal of the growth. It is performed under general anesthesia, but is otherwise considered much easier and safer than primary rhinoplasty. The osteochondral skeleton of the nose is practically not injured, therefore the risk of relapse is reduced to zero.

Hypertrophy of fibrocartilaginous tissue after rhinoplasty can be prevented. Much depends on the surgeon - during the operation he must make careful, low-traumatic incisions, and then correctly align and fix the bone fragments, ensuring their complete immobility. Therefore, the choice of a specialist and his qualifications should be taken very seriously.

Also, the patient must strictly follow the rules of the postoperative period. There are few of them, but they are all important:

  • in the first three days, keep to bed rest;
  • in no case should you remove or loosen it yourself, climb under it with your hands or foreign objects to scratch yourself, etc.;
  • for 7-14 days after surgery, minimize physical and emotional activity: do not go to the gym, take time off from work;
  • in the first two weeks, clean your nose exclusively with cotton swabs or turundas - blowing your nose is strictly prohibited;
  • do not expose your face to frequent and prolonged exposure to high temperature: bathhouse, beach, sauna, bathroom are prohibited for you for a month;
  • protect the area of ​​the postoperative wound from hypothermia;
  • If you wear glasses, replace them with contact lenses for at least 2-3 weeks.

Let's discuss such a topic as rhinoplasty of the nose, plastic surgery on the nose.
Who did the nose job? What is your feedback after rhinoplasty? Do you like the shape of your nose?

I had rhinoplasty of the nose with osteotomy, three weeks passed.
And after removing the plaster for a week or more, the nose was smooth and narrow. A week passed, and a small ball appeared in the place of the former hump.
It’s almost invisible to the eye (you have to try to see it), but if you touch it in that place, you can very well feel the hard lump, like a bone! Now that's a day of nerves!
What to do? Who had this?
Did it go away on its own and there’s no need to be afraid, or did you have your nose re-corrected?
P.S. I can’t go to the surgeon himself, because I had a nose operation in another city, then who should I contact in my city about this issue?
My nose after rhinoplasty photo.

And here are the comments received:

Contact a doctor at your hospital, a surgeon or an ENT specialist.

Read the results of rhinoplasty work on the website of plastic surgeons.
Photos before and after rhinoplasty, nose surgery, results of work, general gallery.
Photo results before and after rhinoplasty (nose job) of all represented plastic surgeons.

Nice nose. What is the price of rhinoplasty?

Yes, this is nonsense, if you can’t see it, don’t worry, there are a lot of these bumps and other nonsense on the tip of my nose after plastic surgery, nothing is visible, our bones are not perfectly smooth, there are various irregularities. No re-fixing of the nose is necessary.

I read that callus formation is possible. Go to your surgeon and have him examine you.

I also have a slight swelling at the site of the hump. It is too early to evaluate the result; the nose after rhinoplasty will change throughout the year. Contact your doctor by phone and he will advise you.

This is the remnant of a hump, a slight roughness of the bone, most likely hammer it in, I wholeheartedly advise, as a last resort, then the doctor will remove it with a rasp for nose correction, this is nonsense.

The profile is very beautiful, send the photo to the surgeon, let him take a look.

Now many doctors provide online consultations, write to them.

I had it and it went away, I had the same rhinoplasty, it will resolve, I assure you.

Not a nose, but a dream. After all, plastic surgery works wonders.

I don’t see anything in the photo after rhinoplasty, everything is fine, but do you have a photo before the operation?

Don't be afraid of anything! To evaluate the final result after nose surgery, at least six months must pass! And my advice to you is don’t touch your nose! Otherwise, you might actually rub something on yourself there. In the meantime, just pay less attention to him!

I fell in love with this nose. Great nose, I wouldn't worry about it.

I agree, but what else can you do when you’ve read too many scary tales on the forums while you’re waiting for the day you have an appointment with the doctor?

Great nose. What's wrong? I don't see it. What nose job are you talking about?

Too much rhinoplasty, and it only takes three weeks for your nose to just heal.

What I’m most afraid of is nose surgery because of calluses, because the operation was simply terrible mentally. And the only way to get rid of these calluses is through revision rhinoplasty, but in my life I will never agree to such an operation again. I made an appointment with the doctor, the next appointment was in 3 days, and during these 3 days I’ve been thinking a lot of things, I’ll go crazy soon, I’m going to the doctor tomorrow.
How long did it take for the bump on the tip of your nose to resolve? Did it bother you?

It's a good nose, but I probably wouldn't risk going to a surgeon. The consequences can be very terrible.

Yes, of course I was! I cried, I thought that I would have a nose job again. A month or two - maximum.

Then you understand me, and plus I started searching on the Internet what it was and why it appeared on my nose. I read about calluses after plastic surgery on the nose, tumors, cracks. Someone had something growing there, rotting, stinking. As a result, I got upset, cried, ate the brains of all my family and already decided to write here too, asking if anyone had the same experience. Tomorrow I’m going to the ENT specialist, we’ll take an x-ray, if it’s a callus, then in the picture it will be visible as a bone shell, which means everything is very bad and I was not worried in vain. And if there is swelling or something else, then it won’t be visible on the picture and the doctor may help with the question, but still not 100%. Hence the excitement, nerves and such a spontaneous decision to write about it on the forum.
But thank you very much, you give me hope that everything will be fine.

I don't see the ball. Very beautiful nose shape after rhinoplasty, don’t worry.
- Don’t worry, after a week of tip rhinoplasty, I also ran to the ENT specialist about the ball and the smell of pus. As a result, they looked at me like I was a fool and said, well, the threads in your nose are dissolving, of course, there will be a smell, and the bump will dissolve, just give it time.

Thank you very much, I also like how they did it for me, much better than before the nose correction, but on the back of the nose you can feel the bump if you touch it. I am timid by nature and now I’m worried whether it’s a bone callus.

However, this is a small thing and not worth the money. Nothing is even noticeable. Better buy yourself something.

Thank you very much, it was not in vain that I wrote, thank you very much.

I hope your fears are unfounded, the nose is wonderful.

Write later how it all ended. I am also planning rhinoplasty.

Okay, I’ll write, but after the operation I decided that I would not advise anyone to do rhinoplasty of the nose, it’s just hell, especially with local anesthesia, when you feel how they break your bone, saw, move, clamp, cut and even touch your bones.
If you have a good nose, I don’t recommend it to anyone at all, unless it is mandatory for health reasons.

Terrible! During my consultation I was told about general anesthesia for rhinoplasty. The feelings are certainly terrible, I sympathize. But the nose is great!

Perfect nose. Cast aside all doubts and worries.

General anesthesia is more dangerous than local anesthesia, because General anesthesia may not work; as a result, your body will not move, because... you will sleep, but your brain may not fall asleep, and you will feel pain, but you will not be able to say anything, or move, most likely you will simply faint from the pain. Therefore, under local anesthesia, I had a nose operation, 9 injections around, it felt like a dentist was just digging into my nose.

I made it in Makhachkala for 50 tons of rubles, Gadzhi Radzhabovich, I chose it because... everyone I knew who did it did it with him.

Girls, who has done it - can you tell me the contacts of doctors tested for rhinoplasty?

I'll do it myself in the summer. It's very scary, of course. But I’ve already made up my mind, it’s terrible to read so much.

In Makhachkala, a good surgeon did it to my acquaintance, after removing the plaster, the nose was small and smooth, but after a couple of days a lump began to be felt and I panicked. What have I not thought of? Maybe some special light treatment should be done; I know that after the cast is removed from the leg, the hands are definitely prescribed.

But for some reason I don’t like the nose.

Can't go? But you must have a connection with him in any case! Phone, Skype, etc., don’t talk nonsense. He is in charge of your operation and you can contact him.

Don’t touch it, for sure, time will pass after rhinoplasty.

That's what my mother tells me.

A year ago I had an operation on my nose in Baku with a famous doctor, the result was that there were consequences, plus instead of a hump a small bump appeared, it was terrible.

Is she visible? Or just by touch? And when did they start noticing her?

Calling your doctor or writing is not an option?

Great nose. Don't bother. Rehabilitation will do its job, from 6 months. up to 1 year.

I just have an appointment with the surgeon next Friday, I’m very afraid, but I’m determined.
Your nose is perfect, the bump will go away.
My mother and her friend had drooping of the tip of the nose after tip rhinoplasty - this is really scary.

Yes, it’s visible, I noticed it as soon as the plaster was removed, just like that, plus a white spot appeared on my nose.

What a beautiful nose. For some reason, it’s the same for me even without rhinoplasty. But I’m still going to have surgery on my nose.

Should I contact the surgeon via Viber or something else?

General anesthesia is safe for rhinoplasty; it is better than local anesthesia for such an operation; there is less discomfort for the patient.

Your nose is normal. You think about it more, nose surgery is not a simple thing.

Regret. And I didn’t have a bump after the cast was removed.

Don’t read all sorts of horror stories on the Internet, but go to the doctor!

You can write to your surgeon and ask to contact you, send a photo after rhinoplasty and describe the problem. I would do this instead of starting to visit all the doctors.

A friend of mine had her nose corrected under general anesthesia.
Apparently something went wrong. It was like she was in a coma. I heard everything. I felt it. I almost went crazy, poor thing. It turns out that some people are not 100% responsive to anesthesia.
Therefore, you need to take some tests or something like that. Don't know.
In general, talk to your doctor. You never know.

My best friend had her breasts done three months ago, generally speaking, of course, she says - she passed out, then she woke up with new boobs. I hope this will be the case for me.

I’m looking for a good surgeon who will correct the mistake of that doctor whose arms grow out of his butt.

I broke my nose as a child, because of this my septum is crooked and I want to straighten the tip of my nose.
Only now it’s doubly scary.

If plastic surgery with general anesthesia is safer, then so be it; for me, both were scary. With a local one, you lie for an hour with your eyes closed, breathe through your mouth and talk with the surgeon, but the only unpleasant thing is that you don’t feel pain, but you feel the bones being touched.
But if you are only going to change the tip of your nose, you won’t feel anything at all, general anesthesia is a terrible stress for the body, and local anesthesia is the same as going to the dentist. I also had a deviated septum, because as a child I played football and got hit on the nose many times.

No, it’s a complicated rhinoplasty, I’ll also break a bone, since in profile, on one side there is a straight nose, and on the other side there is a small hump (I don’t know at all how this happened).
I want a snub nose.

Did you play football? Cool, I can’t even hit the ball a couple of times.

So, good luck to you! I advise you to choose a surgeon in whom you are 100 percent confident.

Thank you. You can’t be 100% sure of anything, but he pieced my mother’s nose back together after 3 unsuccessful plastic surgeries, I hope I’ll be so lucky. Good luck to you too!

Where is the ball? What ball? Who has the ball??! For the life of me, there are no balls in sight!!

Keloid scar on the nose after rhinoplasty, maybe read about it.

No matter how closely I looked, I didn’t see the ball. Normal good nose.

Call the doctor. Or go to a surgeon in your city. What should I write here?

You have a perfect nose, your nose that suits you and looks harmonious, why touch your beautiful nose?

Normal nose in the photo. No more nose correction is needed.

They do plastic surgery, and then they suffer. More naturalness, girls!!

Haven't they told you that you might get an implant?
I know people who did rhinoplasty and touched the bone, then they inserted an implant in this place for “evenness.”
For some, it was shaking, and for others, it was “slipping.”

Her lump is normal, the callus is bone or not finished, implants are usually placed during secondary surgery on the nose, but during primary surgery - this needs to be discussed separately.

It’s just that I also had rhinoplasty, but they didn’t touch my bone.
I saw enough of these in the clinic, the bone is, of course, dangerous.

Am I the only one who doesn’t see some kind of ball?

Have you tried to find the name of the clinic on the Internet and call for a consultation?

Beautiful nose, absolutely beautiful, I don’t see the ball to be honest.

Is it expensive?? What is the price of rhinoplasty?

It will resolve, Orbakaite spent a long time treating the boil after plastic surgery, wore glasses on purpose, but you can’t see anything.

Did you have surgery in the basement? What prevents you from consulting with your surgeon by phone, Skype, etc.

After surgery, the nose still takes a year to form, but still call your doctor and ask.

Sorry, what are you planning to operate on? Seriously, I don't understand. People want to get the same nose, they go to surgeons, but what you don’t like about it is that there is no hump, the nostrils are small, the nose is straight!

I, like any girl, choose the right, successful angle, in fact the septum is curved, the nose itself is broken, there is a small hump, no, the nose is ordinary, normal, but for my face it is too big and rough.

Perhaps this is not tactful, and I am not dissuading you, don’t think about it, your life and, of course, make the decision yourself. But I note that it is small for your face, not too big by any means.
The most difficult angle is the full face!
Most people take photos in profile or in half-turn, but you pose straight and look great.
No, it’s up to you, of course, but personally, I don’t like big noses!
They really add age!
Everything about you is so neat and beautiful, I don’t know.
Still, we see ourselves differently, probably people from the outside see us completely differently.

As requested, I am writing the result of my “self-criticism”.
I went to the ENT specialist, she told me that it was swelling and there was no need to worry, it was formed because the skin was “torn off” from the bone, and it would go away in a month or two.

What do you think about rhinoplasty?

To speed up the recovery of your nose after rhinoplasty, you should follow your doctor’s recommendations, and also know what you can and cannot do during this period.

The first days, month, year, life after rhinoplasty

Of course, after such a surgical intervention as rhinoplasty, life in general changes. This is explained by the fact that a person loses complexes regarding his appearance, he becomes more self-confident and remains satisfied when looking at himself in the mirror.

However, to achieve beautiful noses after rhinoplasty, patients must go a long way towards an ideal appearance.

Because the operation is accompanied by unpleasant sensations and has a long recovery period. Frequent questions after or before surgery include: does the tip of the nose droop after rhinoplasty, does it hurt, how long does rehabilitation last, and much more.

  • The first day after rhinoplasty is determined by quite striking symptoms, at this time there is severe swelling, soreness of the nose, and difficulty breathing as a result of the introduction of cotton wool into the nasal cavities. In addition, in the first days after rhinoplasty, bruises and bruises are often present on the face, which gradually subside over time.
  • The demand for rhinoplasty is determined by the positive final result; complications arise in rare cases. In addition to modeling the nose itself, during the procedure they can correct the deformation of the septum and change the tip and wings of the nose.
  • Scarring of tissue after rhinoplasty of the nose occurs, as a rule, during rehabilitation or at the end of it. It all depends on the care of the operated area and the regenerative abilities of the body.

From everything described, we can conclude that the life of a person who decides to undergo surgery changes greatly for the better.

What symptoms and complications are observed in the patient during the rehabilitation period?

As a result of rhinoplasty of the nose, patients often experience symptoms of complications, which are determined by various conditions, can be short or long-lasting, that is, cannot be corrected on their own.

  • Swelling of the tip of the nose after rhinoplasty

Swelling of the nose, including the tip, very often occurs after surgical intervention, since the operation causes damage to soft tissues and blood vessels. For some people, minor swelling after rhinoplasty may persist for a year.

  1. To eliminate swelling after rhinoplasty, the patient may be prescribed diprospan or other medications.
  2. The duration of swelling after surgery can vary; generally, this symptom begins to subside after the first week of the rehabilitation period or at a later date.
  • Callus after rhinoplasty

Often, as a result of surgery, patients can
detect a callus on the nasal area, which occurs due to swelling and is a bulging of cartilage tissue.

  • No breathing and stuffy nose after rhinoplasty

The main and most common complication after rhinoplasty nose is a violation of respiratory activity, which is associated with high swelling, pain and the presence of nasal turundas.

The respiratory function of the nose after the operation is restored, as a rule, after swelling is reduced and cotton wool is removed. In terms of time, this can be 1-2 or more weeks from the moment of rhinoplasty.

  • After rhinoplasty, a hump appeared on the bridge of the nose

The appearance of a hump after surgery appears rare, but possible. This condition is determined by the incorrect actions of a medical specialist. Most often, such a defect will need to be corrected only after at least 6 months with a second operation.

If, after the swelling has gone down, a hump has formed on the nose, you should contact your attending surgeon.

  • Subcutaneous scar after rhinoplasty

If the surgeon incorrectly applies cosmetic sutures, a subcutaneous scar may form on the soft tissue areas, which can be easily felt during palpation and can cause some inconvenience.

  • Temperature after rhinoplasty

An increase in temperature after surgery occurs rarely and may be accompanied by individual characteristics of the body or an infectious lesion.

  • Hard nasal tip after rhinoplasty

Due to a violation of the integrity of the cartilage and soft tissues, in addition to swelling, a phenomenon such as a hard tip of the nose may be observed. Basically, this condition is not long-lasting and goes away towards the end of rehabilitation.

  • Crooked nose tip after rhinoplasty

The development of a crooked tip is a fairly common complication of rhinoplasty and cannot be eliminated on its own. This will require a second operation in most cases.

  • Lump on nose after rhinoplasty

The appearance of a lump in the nasal area after surgery can be attributed to tissue swelling and after its reduction, the lump, as a rule, decreases.

  • Unpleasant smell in the nose after rhinoplasty

The appearance of a specific odor after nasal surgery may be associated with the use of medications and the healing processes of soft tissues.

  • After removing the rhinoplasty turunda, my nose did not breathe

As a rule, the respiratory function of the nose after rhinoplasty resumes when swelling decreases and the turunda is removed. If after such actions the condition does not change, you should consult a doctor.

  • Different nostrils after rhinoplasty

A complication such as different shapes of the nostrils does not occur often and depends on the surgeon’s incorrect calculations and surgical planning. To eliminate the defect, revision rhinoplasty is prescribed.

  • Bruises after rhinoplasty

Bruises after surgery are common and last for quite a long time, so patients are often interested in: how to get rid of bruises after rhinoplasty? To do this, it is necessary to use local agents that have blood thinning properties.

  • After rhinoplasty, the nose will turn up strongly

If the doctor did not plan the operation correctly, then the final result of rhinoplasty may be an upturned nose.

  • Headaches after rhinoplasty

Due to pain as a result of the operation, it can radiate to neighboring areas, so the patient also often complains of headaches.

  • Asymmetry after rhinoplasty

If facial asymmetry occurs, you should consult a doctor. The appearance of this complication should be judged only when the swelling has completely disappeared.

  • Eye problems after rhinoplasty

Visual impairment and other eye problems resulting from rhinoplasty are very rare and are characterized by infection, severe swelling, or surgical error. Bloody eyes can occur due to a violation of the integrity of blood vessels and disappear after a few days.

  • Nose droops after rhinoplasty

If during the operation the surgeon incorrectly fixed the tip of the nose, after complete healing there will be a very dark drooping of the tip. To correct this defect, a repeat operation will be required.

What is not allowed and what is possible after rhinoplasty?

What you can and cannot do after rhinoplasty during the recovery and rehabilitation period.

To quickly recover after surgery, you must know certain rules, and know what is possible and what is not allowed after surgery.

  • Why you can't sleep on your side after rhinoplasty

Causes of a defect on the nose

The appearance of a callus should be considered as a protective reaction of the bone. After all, surgical intervention involves damage to the internal structure of the nose, and the body begins to regenerate and restore missing elements. The main causes of the defect are considered to be the following:

  • tendency to excessive formation of connective tissue with the formation of rough scars;
  • unprofessional work of the surgeon.

Structure of the nose

A similar problem can be detected one year after rhinoplasty. During this time, three successive stages of callus development occur:

  1. connective tissue appears at the site of damage;
  2. the formation of thin bone fibers begins;
  3. calcium salts create a hard build-up.

The size of the formation depends on the scale of the operation performed and the individual characteristics of regeneration.

Does callus resolve or need to be removed?

Bone formation occurs over a long period of time. Quite rarely prescribed. It is carried out in the following cases:

  • with hypergrowth of fibers;
  • for functional disorders of the nasal passages;
  • at elevated temperatures;
  • when elements of inflammation appear, for example, redness on the bridge of the nose.

At the first sign of a defect, you should consult a doctor.
The problem can be identified by the following symptoms:

  • the formation of a small hump on the bridge of the nose;
  • change in proportions, asymmetry;
  • swelling.

The defect can actually resolve if certain measures are taken in the early stages, in particular, taking medications and undergoing physiotherapeutic procedures.

The first stage is to reduce inflammation in the area of ​​damage with the help of medications.

Treatment with medications

Drug treatment after rhinoplasty stops the growth of bone tissue, eliminates swelling and redness. The drugs contain hormones that stabilize the healing process. There are several well-known brands:

  • Diprospan. An injection containing high levels of hydrocortisone is given under the patient's skin to reduce inflammation.
  • Kenalog. An intramuscular injection is performed to stabilize the scarring process.
  • Traumeel S. A topical medication is used in the form of drops or ointment to relieve redness and swelling.

How to remove a callus with surgery

Such a radical method as surgical correction is prescribed when other methods have not given the desired result. Often the defect manifests itself in the form of the following unpleasant sensations after drug therapy:

  • difficulty breathing through the nose;
  • elevated temperature;
  • redness of the bridge of the nose and pain.

After surgical correction (revision rhinoplasty) of callus

Based on the results of the examination and, if necessary, additional diagnostics, the method of the planned operation to remove callus is determined. There are a number of techniques that can eliminate further formation of the defect.

Revision surgery is a rare occurrence among patients. The result of the surgical intervention will be noticeable only a year after the operation.

Physiotherapy on the bridge of the nose

These procedures are considered the most effective way to eliminate formation. The treatment process is under the supervision of a doctor for a long time. Special techniques are aimed at resorption of bone tissue and improvement of regeneration. The list of physical procedures is as follows:

  • drug electrophoresis;
  • ultrasound therapy;
  • use of thermotherapy;
  • phonophoresis.

There are simple rules for prevention after rhinoplasty for patients. The list of recommendations is as follows:

  • it is necessary to strictly comply with all conditions of the rehabilitation period;
  • You should consult a doctor if primary symptoms of callus occur;
  • it is necessary to observe bed rest for 3 days after plastic surgery;

However, the use of medications and physical therapy can prevent further surgery. Under the influence of hormones and a set of procedures, the callus is successfully resolved. Attentive attention to the recommendations during the rehabilitation period allows you to forever preserve the natural harmony of the face and the functional abilities of the nose.
