Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Are spreader grafts necessary in nearly all cases when dorsal hump reduction is performed?
often but not always
Apr 21, 2016
Spreader grafts can be used to help maintain the nasal airway stability in the middle third of the nose.  When a dorsal hump is removed, it can weaken this portion of the airway and pose a risk for breathing obstruction in the long term. Spreader grafts are often used to help prevent this complication from developing.  Smaller dorsal humps can often be removed without weakening this support and may not need spreader grafts.
Is bump on nose permamnent?
unlikely to be permanent
Apr 21, 2016
It sounds like this is an inflammatory reaction to the rubbing from the goggles. I would try to switch to a goggle with a different nose piece and does c=not come in contact with that area.  You can continue to massage it as well and if it doesn’t resolve in a few weeks consider an in-office consultation.
How long will it take for a nasal osteotomy to heal?
too early to tell
Apr 21, 2016
It is still too early to tell whether or not there will be any permanent sequelae to your recent injury.  The swelling from your surgery appears to be normal at this stage and although it is hard to be patient, I think time will tell.  Make sure to follow-up with your surgeon and let them know of the injury.
Tip Rhinoplasty: What Is It?
tip rhinoplasty
Apr 13, 2016
A tip rhinoplasty focuses primarily on modifying the tip of the nose including possible resculpting, reshaping, straightening, refining. It may be done alone or in conjunction with other aspect of rhinoplasty such as reducing a dorsal hump.  It may be completed either by working through the inside of the nose but more often is done through a small incision on the undersurface of the nose. 
How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost?
depends on many factors
Apr 13, 2016
Rhinoplasty is one of the most intricate surgical procedures performed on the face and involves skill, talent and experience to achieve an optimal result. Many factors contribute to the cost including the amount of work and whether it is revision surgery or a first surgery as well as if there are complicating factors like other medical conditions. The cost also usually includes 3 components: a surgeon fee, a hospital or facility fee and an anesthesiologist fee.  Keep this in mind when …
What are the signs and symptoms of a broken nose?
possible broken nose
Apr 13, 2016
It can be difficult to tell if you have sustained a nasal fracture after facial trauma.  Often the nose may look bruised and swollen but may not truly be broken. Sometimes the nose will look shifted and you may feel the bony fracture lines which suggest a fracture.  However, these changes may not be noticeable until swelling starts to subside. A consultation with your doctor will help determine if the nose is fractured and if so, what needs to be done and in what timeframe.
Rhinoplasty Recovery Time and Downtime?
What to expect after rhinoplasty – timeline for recovery
Apr 1, 2015
The timeline for rhinoplasty recovery varies depending on the extent of the surgery and the approach used. In general, I advise patient to plan for 7-10 days of recovery time. The first few days the nose is quite congested and there will be some drainage present. Depending on the extent of bony work, there may be some bruising around the eyes that will fade over the 10 day period. I usually place a small splint on the outside of the nose and cover this with skin colored…
