Problems 11 Days Post Revision Rhinoplasty to Remove Cyst From First Surgery?

Four years ago, I had a rhinoplasty to repair a broken nose which went disastrously. A cyst developed on the right side of my nose where the tip meets the face among other problems. To repair this mess, I underwent a revision rhinoplasty 11 days ago. The surgeon explained he removed the cyst and told me the surgery went well. I just took off the nasal tape, and it just looks awful. The bump on the right side is still there. Is this swelling because more work was done on this side of the tip?

11 days after rhinoplasty revision is too early to make any decisions about outcome. If a true cyst was removed, there may be fluid collecting in the area accounting for the residual bump.

I hope this helps, and I wish you the best... more
