can cartilage move after rhinoplasty?

Can cartilage move after rhinoplasty?

Answered on 23rd May '24

The shape of your nose can change for the following reasons:

  • Can cartilage move after rhinoplasty? Yes, but in rare cases - In rhinoplasty cases where the bones need to be broken, the patients will heal within three weeks, and their nose won't move afterward. But if the septum's cartilage is crooked, it might deviate. Spreader graft is generally used to minimize the possibility.
  • If you had either implant or cartilage graft, it is possible for the cartilage to shift, causing a lumpy and unattractive look.
  • Aging: Your nose composes of - cartilage, soft tissues, and fat. The soft tissues contain collagen, which decomposes after a while. This will eventually make the nose droopy & stretched, causing it to change shape. These alterations may appear more significant on a nose that has been previously operated upon, as its internal structure will be more compromised.

While the cartilage itself does not move, its position may be adjusted during the surgical procedure. The term 'cartilage moving' might more accurately refer to the settling or adaptation of the reshaped cartilage to its new configuration. The healing process involves tissue stabilization.

Following rhinoplasty, the nasal cartilage is meticulously reshaped and repositioned to achieve the intended outcome. While cartilage doesn't exhibit the same type of movement as muscles or joints, the surgical procedure involves adjusting its structure.

After the process of rhinoplasty, it involves positioning or reshaping cartilage in your nose to get that aesthetic look. Although the cartilage itself does not “move” in a way that bones can, modifications made during rhinoplasty surgery may produce quite different appearances. Cartilage can be shaped and anchored into a new place during surgery but after healing is completed, it rarely changes its position. However, problems such as formation of scar tissue or alterations in the skin thickness can affect its appearance with time. Any inquiries concerning postoperative changes should be posed to the surgeon, who will shed light on how exactly this or that technique is carried out and what long-term results can occur.

I have facial hair growth over both chin and upper lip. Its because of hormonal imbalance my DHEA level is 180. So may i know if laser hair removal will help get rid of this facial hair growth.

Female | 29

Laser hair removal can be an effective way to remove unwanted facial hair. But it is important to discuss any hormonal imbalances with your doctor before beginning a treatment plan. Laser hair removal may not be the best option for you if your DHEA level is high as this could lead to an increased risk of side effects. Your doctor may suggest other options such as oral medications, topical creams, or electrolysis.

Blocked nose 6 months after rhinoplasty, what to do?

Female | 35

Experiencing a blocked nose six months after rhinoplasty can be normal in some cases, but it's essential to consult with your surgeon for a proper evaluation. While the majority of swelling and healing typically occur within the first few months following rhinoplasty, it's possible for residual swelling to persist for a longer period, especially in the nasal passages. Residual swelling, Scar tissue formation, Nasal valve collapse can be the reasons for blocked nose at this stage. 

If you're experiencing a blocked nose six months after rhinoplasty, it's important to consult with your surgeon or an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) to determine the cause and appropriate course of action. They will be able to evaluate your situation and provide you with personalized advice based on your specific circumstances. In the meantime, here are a few general suggestions that may help:

  1. Follow post-operative instructions: Review the instructions provided by your surgeon after the rhinoplasty and ensure that you are following them correctly. This may include nasal sprays, saline rinses, or other prescribed medications.
  2. Nasal irrigation: Consider using a saline nasal rinse or a neti pot to help flush out any mucus or debris from your nasal passages. This can help alleviate congestion and keep your nose clear.
  3. Humidify the air: Dry air can exacerbate nasal congestion. Using a humidifier in your living space or bedroom can add moisture to the air, reducing the likelihood of a blocked nose.
  4. Avoid irritants: Minimize exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke, strong chemical odors, and pollutants. These can further inflame the nasal passages and contribute to congestion.
  5. Elevate your head during sleep: Keeping your head elevated while sleeping can help reduce nasal congestion. Try using an extra pillow or consider using a wedge pillow specifically designed for this purpose.
  6. Avoid blowing your nose forcefully: Blowing your nose too hard can potentially disrupt the healing process and worsen congestion. Instead, gently blow your nose with one nostril at a time or use a saline nasal spray to help clear your nasal passages.

Remember, these are general suggestions, and it's essential to seek professional medical advice for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
