Protruding Lower Lateral Cartilage Following Septorhinoplasty. Causes? How To Fix? (photo)
I had septorhinoplasty 3 weeks ago and as a result, I have a bulging white piece of cartilage protruding out of my nostril. It is extremely visible. Can you tell me what this is, how it occurred and if it can be fixed. Thank you!

Bulging of Columella 3 Weeks Post Rhinoplasty
The fullness you observe may be secondary to cartilage, a stitch, infection, or the accumulation of fluid. Rather than have us diagnose the problem and treat you over the internet, I suggest you visit your surgeon.
