Post-op Lump on Nose

If your "scar tissue" is hard and bony, this can be reduced by rasping the lump. If the lump is soft tissue, steroid injections may help or the fullness can be excised. The size and location will influence the treatment which is recommended.

Nose lump

Scar tissue can be due to bony callus or soft tissue scar. The etiology of the problem will dictate the appropriate treatment. Remember however with each surgery new scar is created so the results are not just a function of the surgeon but are also effected by the patients healing.

If you have excess scar tissue in the  nose ift may be a fairly simple procedure if it is bony.  If so it an be rasped down.

Lump following rhinoplasty

Scar tissue can develop out of bone or soft tissue. If it is the former, you may require additional surgery to rasp or remove the excess bone. If it is the latter, conservative and judicious use of steroids may be beneficial but are not without risk.

Bump on Nose Following Rhinoplasty

Depending what the source of "bump" is the treatment will vary.  If the bump is caused by scar tissue, sometimes a small amount of steroid can be injected to help reduce the scar tissue.  If the bump is caused by bone, then it can be filed down.  If the bump is caused by a depression nearby then a bit of filler can be used to fill it.  An experienced surgeon should be able to tell you what is going on and which of these options are best.  more
