Nose Colapse After Post Op Infection
by whisperingwillow, Jul 31, 2009 11:56AM
I had been sent to an ENT due to acute and chronic sinus infections. She said I had a deviated septum and did the surgery to repair it. I had a reaction to the antibiotic that she gave me which landed me in the hospital. However when the hospital doctor was going to give me a new antibiotic to cover me during my post-op period she called them up and told them not to. Make a long story short I got a post-op infection and I am left with the middle of my nose caved in. What are my options? What can be done? I do not want to go back to that doctor. Living this way is unacceptable.

You will need an extensive reconstruction and need to see a reconstructive ENT or plastic surgeon to fix this. It will probably require a bone graft.
