Woman's nose is deformed and contracted, causing difficulty breathing after 7 surgeries

Taking her medical history, Ms. H. said that she used to be very self-conscious because of her flat, flat nose, so she decided to get a nose job. Unfortunately, after 7 nose jobs at different beauty salons, she not only failed to change her appearance but also suffered from a series of complications, her nose became increasingly deformed and shrunken.

7 failed nose jobs

In the first surgery, Ms. H. had an artificial nose bridge inserted at a local spa. However, her nose bridge soon collapsed, and she had to have it removed. After a while, she continued to go to a general hospital in Ho Chi Minh City to have her nose lifted with an artificial bridge and ear cartilage. However, after a while, the tip of her nose was too pointed, so Ms. H. decided to ask the doctor to intervene and correct the tip of her nose by adding ear cartilage.

Since the second ear cartilage covering, Ms. H.'s nose began to show signs of infection and inflammation, so she went to a beauty salon in Ho Chi Minh City to remove the old cartilage and place a new one for more than 100 million VND. After 6 years of placing the new cartilage, Ms. H.'s nose continued to be infected, had discharge and was in pain for a long time, so she went back to the beauty salon to have the bridge of her nose removed.

After 6 failed surgeries, on the 7th time, Ms. H. switched to autologous fat grafting into the bridge of her nose to improve the height and shape of her nose.

After 1 year of fat grafting for nose lift, the fat was absorbed. The nose became more and more shrunken and deformed, especially the 2 nostrils became tighter and tighter, making breathing more and more difficult.

More than 5 hours of surgery, nose reconstruction

On June 21, Dr. Tu Dung (Director of JW Hospital) said that Ms. H's nose was complicatedly deformed, and scar tissue was formed and hardened due to too many surgical interventions. The tip of the nose was contracted, the nose column was completely collapsed, and the septum cartilage was crooked, so the entire nose had to be reconstructed. At the same time, the patient's constitution was not compatible with artificial cartilage materials, so it had to be replaced with autologous rib cartilage.

"One of the difficulties in patient H. is that her rib cartilage is hardened, so taking the rib cartilage and using it to create a nose pillar is very difficult. The surgical team had to spend a lot of effort and time together to hold, clamp and peel the rib cartilage to avoid the cartilage from coming loose or breaking. After surgery, Ms. H.'s nose shape will improve by 50-60% ," Dr. Dung shared.

After 5 hours of surgery, Ms. H's nose was successfully reconstructed. In particular, the nasal septum was straight, the nostrils were round and breathing was easier.
