About 3 weeks after my primary rhinoplasty, a hard bump appeared on the supra tip. It appears to be cartilage as it is hard and not soft tissue. My doctor is considering a touch-up, but I read here that rasping might be only for bone. My skin is too thin, I'd rather not have a revision . Is there any other safe way to correct this without compromising the original result? Picture shows result after 10 days, vs result after 6 months. Thank you.

Steroid injections can be warranted to help with scar tissue formation in the nasal tip after rhinoplasty. However, that doesn't fully explain your lack of ability to breathe properly 9 months after surgery.
I'd recommend that you set up a consultation with a rhinoplasty surgeon in your area...
Hello! Thank you for your question.I have checked your photo and your nose still looks big. I don't know how it was before (if you could provide also photos from before I would be able to make a better evaluation).Effectively your nose looks a little deviated to the right. This can be corrected...
Hello! Thank you for your question.You have so much swelling right now but it is normal (it looks you had surgery only a few weeks before). If you can tell me when you had surgery exactly I would be able to make a better evaluation.Best regards!
