k-couture Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 don't worry mrs lucky mine is post op day 7 and my right nostril is more swollen too. It was only a little swollen when he first closed up the incision in the nostril then come day 3 when swelling peaked it was really obvious one side was more swollen. Ure day 3 so thats when ure swelling peaked too. When ure about day 7 where i am you will notice things balancing out. happy healing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderamy Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Is closed up nose job better than the open one?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 yes. less invasive, lower risk of internal scarring, does not reduce elasticity of the collumela. Most people are actually suitable for closed rhinoplasty. Reason why most surgeons are adamant about open is not because it cannot be done via closed, but because the surgeon is not trained in closed rhinoplasty. Only the most extreme cases truly need to be done via open rhino. Oh and cartilage grafts to the bridge area need to be done by open i think. Ive yet to come across a surgeon who does cartlage grafts through closed rhino. Tho it may be just that those who do cartilage grafts to the bridge are not trained in closed rhino...

motty26 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 so K if the procedure requires soft silicon for nose augmentation... it can be done thru closed as well? i have a very short low nose.. so definitely i need silicon and ear cartilage for the tip of my nose. thanks.

k-couture Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 tip area with the current materials available, will not be performed using any artificial implants. It will be bone with either cartilage or dermis. Bridge area is very ideal that it is using ultra soft silicone and not hard silicone, goretex or cartilage, all for different reasons. I explained why in detail in previous posts on this thread. And yes it can be one through close rhinoplasty. Mine was done on the 7th of May with ultra soft silicone and cartilage for collumela and dermis for tip all through closed rhino with a surgeon who specialises in closed rhino. I absolutely love my results and recovery was quick and easy becase of how non invasive the procedure is. I didnt even need a deep packing that went down your throat. Just one for the side of my right nostril which i removed on my own in 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motty26 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 are u in gen anaesthesia when the dr did your closed rhino procedure? thanks K! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 nope. sedation. I detailed my surgery here. Just ctrl find Sedation to skip to the surgery part. Its really a great alternative to general anesthesia esp if u are the calmer sort that won't panic from being semi awake.# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maiq Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks for mentioning that K. How I feel during surgery with sedation is something I am concerned about. I've been under sedation before when the doctor remove a fat tumour on my face, and I was calm because I just closed my eyes, have regular breathing, feel the surgery tool against my facial bones and think about what to have for dinner. However, for nose it might be different because of direct inference with breathing - do you think i will be able to breathe normally thro the nose during the op? Or did you breathe thro the mouth? I have this silly but disturbing thought as I cant help thinking if I open my mouth during op, some blood from dr hand or from the incision might fall in T_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vichyk Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 May I ask if you feel any stiffness/change in smiles after. I always though that rib noses are hard only if they use the L method with one rib sticking from you radix to the tip of the nose. Is it still hard when you opted for ear/septal cartilages?
