What should I do if nasal comprehensive surgery leads to hypertrophy?
Disease description:
I underwent comprehensive rhinoplasty, but my nose did not heal properly and developed hypertrophic scarring. Currently, my nose looks particularly unattractive, and I’m worried that poor healing may result in permanent scarring. Could you please advise on the typical management for hypertrophic scarring following comprehensive rhinoplasty?

Hello,
Since individual physical constitutions and recovery patterns vary, some patients may experience hypertrophic scarring (keloid or hypertrophic scar formation) following rhinoplasty (comprehensive nasal surgery). Improper postoperative care can also contribute to such scarring.
If wound hypertrophy occurs after rhinoplasty, pharmacological treatment is typically required to control it. The specific treatment approach depends on the severity and extent of the hypertrophy.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
