I Have a Cyst Inside Nostril After Rhinoplasty 1 Month Ago. How Long Will It Take to Heal?

I had rhinoplasty one month ago and I developed a cyst or some abnormal mass inside one of my nostril on top of the suture I think. It seems to swell up at times and obstructs my breathing. I wanted to ask what should I do or how long will it take to heal. My surgeon told me itll heal in a week, its been more than a month now. At one point it had mucous coming out of it. I thought it was infected and am taking Augmentin 500 mg TID.what should I do???

"Cyst" in Nostril after Rhinoplasty

You need to be evaluated by your surgeon. We cannot recommend treatment without seeing you, but this is obviously not normal.
