Q. Nasal Surgery Swelling: Is the Swelling on the Bridge of the Nose Due to Infection After Nose Surgery?

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the CEO and lead surgeon of Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic, who pursues harmony that lasts over time.

Today, a person whose swelling after nose surgery had been going down well suddenly developed swelling on the bridge of the nose and asked whether it might be due to infection after nose surgery, as they were worried.

Q. Nasal surgery swelling, swelling on the bridge of the nose: is it due to infection after nose surgery?

It has now been 3 weeks since the nose surgery.

After surgery, when I slept and woke up, the swelling from nose surgery was clearly going down and seemed to fade very well, but starting one day, it began to swell a little at a time in an arrow-like shape, and now it has swollen to the point where the border line of the bridge of the nose is no longer visible. This condition has continued for 2 weeks.

Why is this happening?

1. No pain

2. The skin has turned over

3. Swollen and firm 24 hours a day, and not going down for 2 weeks

Please let me know specifically what problem is visible. I am extremely stressed.

Why are the nostrils and the area next to them swelling up like this?

From the photos, infection after nose surgery is suspected.

You should visit the hospital where you had the surgery and have the inside of your nose checked to see whether there is pus or fluid buildup and what the condition of the nose is.

Please visit the hospital where you had surgery right away and have the current state of the nasal surgery swelling and swelling on the bridge of the nose checked.

I hope for a good result.

I hope the consultation answer was helpful.

Thank you.

This is a case of rhinoplasty for a low and long arrow nose. The tip of the nose had dropped downward for a long time, making it look like an arrow nose.

We corrected the nasalis septum depressor muscle to prevent the nasal tip from continuing to droop downward.

This is a case in which septal deviation surgery was performed on a crooked, short nose.

Because the tip of the nose felt short from the side view, we used septal extension surgery to increase the length.

This person had a thread-based mini cosmetic procedure, and after removing the threads, we performed bridge augmentation.

You can see that the nasal tip has been lifted and the bridge of the nose has become more defined.
