Small Bump on Bridge of Nose After Non Surgical Nose Job?

Question

The day I went in, I had a deep pimple coming up but the doc did t say anything about it. When doc injected you couldn't see the bump where pimple was too much but then now 2.5months later, the bump is still there. I went back to the doc and he said that the pimple would go away and to give it time. Could he have I jected the pimple and that is what is causing the bump to not go away? I'm not sure if I should just wait or go get it dissolved and try again with another doc?

Dissolving the filler could be a solution, but you will need an exam to determine if that is the likely scenario.  There could be something else going on here.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

I don’t believe we can confidently predict what has occurred here. It would be unusually for the pimple to last 2.5 months. It is true the pimple could have been injected into and created a layer of scar tissue that the body will remove however the removal process will take time. Up to 3-4 months would usually be enough. The bump could be a lump of filler that did not integrate properly into the tissues. The only true way to tell what is happening is to find an injector who does ultrasound injecting and they can have a look and tell you if its filler, some residual scar tissue, a blocked duct or a pimple.

It's very difficult to tell exactly what you're talking about. It may not be a "pimple" you're describing, it could be a small cyst, a fatty deposit, or a collagen deformity. Without seeing you in person, or at least seeing a photo, it will be hard for any physician to give you some good advice. If you could elaborate more, perhaps I can offer some better assistance!
