A Little Hard Irregularity on One Side of the Tip
Hello, i'm 5 weeks post rhinoplasty. Since about week 1-2 I noticed a little irregularity on one side of the nose tip. The skin there feels pretty hard, especially when in a chilly environment and it somewhat softens if the nose swells a bit when it is warm. I am afraid it is bossa, but are there any other known causes possible?

Hard Irregularity of Tip after Rhinoplasty
You are probably feeling and seeing an irregularity of the tip cartilages. A minor revision may be necessary after the swelling resolves. Wait another 6-9 months and then discuss possible alternatives with your surgeon.

Bump on nasal tip after rhinoplasty.
It may be cartilage of a tip graft or the lower tip cartilage, but it is too soon to say. Wait 6 months and return to your surgeon for an evaluation.

Hard Irregularity on Tip of the Nose
Hi,
The hard irregularity that you feel is your nasal tip cartilage. It may be the lower lateral cartilage or a tip graft if that was used. I would wait a full year after rhinoplasty and if it is still a problem, then ask your surgeon to address it.
Best,
Dr.S.
