Rhinoplasty Surgury - Rhinoplasty (Nose job - nose surgery) - Forums & Discussion 

I had a rhinoplasty Surgery in 1986. I has a post nasal fracture problem with deviated symptom. During this process, the angled portion of the cartilaginous septum that protruded markedly into the airway was removed. Following this, soft tissues were elevated from nasal dorsum and the subperichondrail and thereafter subperiosteal plane with post-traumatic dorsal callus removed using scalpel technique in that it was mostly cartilaginous in nature. The nasal bones were then osteotomized on their insertion into the nasal dorsum and thereafter were also osteotomized of their origin from the maxilla and were infractured so as to be realigned into the facial midline.

The upper and lower lateral cartilage were then trimmed to bring the nasal silhouette into a symmetric contour and there as yet remaining a depression defect in the pre-tip area.

A portion of the septal cartilage was therefore harvested and carved in a bevelled and tapered manner to be used in a subcutaneous placement and the distal nasal dorsum has transfixed using a 5-0 nylon transcuticular anchoring suture mechanism.

The need for cartilage in the nasal dorsum was so great that the portion of spetal cartilage usually discarded in the bevelling maneuver was then reversed on itself 180 degrees sutured so as to create a distal portion of a wedge-shaped cartilage that was twice as deep as is ordinarily available.

All this was done on July 8, 1986. After a few week the badges were removed and the my noise was well shape except it was swelled and very sensitive. The doctor told me that I should be very careful not to get hit in the bottom of the nose as it may delay the hearing process significantly. But during a swimming practice about 9 month layer I was hit and I even heard a nose as if some thinks were disengaged or separated (broke). My nose started swelling again. Ever since, every time my noise is not hit for a long periods the swelling subsides but it even reacts to lightest touch such as getting hit by a pillow or a nurf gun bullet. I have seen several doctors so far, one in 1996, 2000, and 2007, they don't even believe that post recovery surgery could be so long. One of them thought that the swelling was due to allergy and he sent me to allergy clinic. I was not allergic to anything. The others thought it was in my imagination.

Is there any one familiar with such an issue. Is there a doctor who can fix this problem. Currently, I live in Atlanta, GA. Do you know a doctor in the area who can help me with this issue.

Thanks - Mike
