Adam Patel98 said:QUESTION: Has anyone else dealt with more than just the usual mucosal damage after their procedure? I mean, has the mucosa been completely gone in certain spots, where you can actually see the cartilage right there? Like, zero tissue covering it?

How do you fix this? 🤷 Does that part eventually grow back or what?

Normally, those gaps close up on their own over time. How long has it been since the surgery?

Emily Martinez12 said:Adam Patel98, I honestly have no idea how to answer that... good luck with whatever it is you're dealing with.

Anyway, I have a question for everyone—can I just email Tončić some photos of my nose to ask about potential procedures and pricing? I know you can do that with Dr. Glusac, but his whole thing with charging for consultations is a bit weird, and he manages his own inbox.
From what I understand, Tončić's inquiries are handled by a nurse, and since he actually charges for consultations, I’m not sure if he'd even bother answering specific questions like mine over email. Those questions basically *are* the consultation.
Has anyone here actually tried this?

No matter which surgeon you end up choosing, feel free to ask anything. I'm sure plenty of people here have the exact same questions, whether it's pre-op or post-op. 🙂 I'm happy to help. 🙂

Adam Patel98 said:LET ME BE CLEAR ABOUT THE QUESTION: Did any of you have your incision fully open up after the stitches were removed? In my case, they took the stitches out and everything seemed fine, but then I noticed some cartilage in that spot a few days later. They tried telling me yesterday that it’s just scar tissue or a little missing mucosa. Well, today I’m looking at it and the whole incision line has split wide open and I can actually see bone 🙂

I have no idea what to do and it's already the weekend 🙂

Standard practice is to do a closed incision that isn't visible from the outside using absorbable stitches that stay in and just dissolve on their own. You shouldn't be seeing bone under any circumstances, even if the stitches part—at worst, you might see some cartilage. Since I don't know what specific technique your surgeon used for the rhinoplasty, you really need to consult them. Give them a call on their cell right now.
p.s. Your nose should end up being fine.
