RHINOPLASTY SWELLING AFTER A NOSE SURGERY / RHINOPLASTY

SWELLING OF NASAL DORSUM AND THE NASAL TIP AREA ARE FREQUENTLY A CAUSE OF CONCERN TO A PATIENT.
Four stages of Swelling seen in my practice with External Approach Rhinoplasty
  STAGE 1. Minimal swelling at the removal of cast (As seen below right)

STAGE 2. within 24 hours the nose swells (As seen below Right) .

     STAGE 3. This swelling dissipates in about 3 months to the level seen when the nasal cast & dressing comes off.
           STAGE 4. Approximately 9-12 months when the swelling and healing are close to complete.

NOSE INJURY IN CHILDREN: 12 YEARS OF BLOCKED NOSE AFTER AN ACCIDENTAL NOSE INJURY

6 weeks after a surgery necessitated by an accident at age 5.
A conservative septoplasty performed when she was 9 was unable to address the nasal blockage.
A Grade II Cosmetic result with excellent functional outcome. Dorsum not reduced completely due to severely compromised septal integrity from the trauma & previous surgery. It would be interesting to see at the end of one year how the dorsum fares.
