Q. Inquiry About a Saddle Nose and Side Effects That Developed 2 Months After Rhinoplasty

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the CEO doctor of Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic.

In this response note, someone posted a question because they were very worried about a saddle nose issue after having rhinoplasty.

I am answering that question.

Q. Inquiry About a Saddle Nose and Side Effects That Developed 2 Months After Rhinoplasty

I had nose surgery at the hospital on January 7, 2021.

But I was told at the hospital that it was not a saddle nose, yet now, two months later, it has become a saddle nose.

Could you tell me when the swelling will go down and the nose will settle?

I also wonder whether there is a nasal infection, because sometimes the tip of my nose stings, although I do not feel heat or see redness.

Could it be that I develop a nasal infection or side effects?

If you look at the question, it has been about two months since the rhinoplasty surgery,

and although the hospital said it was not a saddle nose, the person says it has now become a saddle nose.

Along with that, they asked out of concern about side effects such as a nasal infection.

If it has been about two months since your surgery,

there will likely be no further reduction in swelling or lowering of the saddle nose.

As for a nasal infection, it does not seem to be present at the moment, but it is always best to keep the possibility of inflammation in mind.

Please check often whether the nose becomes red or swollen.

I hope you have a good result from the surgery.
