Is This Synechium Scar Tissue After Revision? Does It Cause Swelling? (photo)

February 7, 2012
Asked By:smilebaby123 in New York, NY

1st surgery was in Oct 2008. I had a silicone L-shaped implant inserted. I first noticed this weird nostril-blocking fleshy-thing sometime after the surgery. I ignored it because I thought it was inside of my nose anyways and no one is going to see it unless they look up my nose. Revision in Nov 2011. Implant replaced with ear cartilage. The fleshy nostril-blocking thing on my right nostril is still there. I found out it was called a synechium. Is this scar tissue? Does it cause swelling? Thx.
