What exactly is a supratip? (photo)

Asked By:paddy. p in New York, NY

I have had surgery exactly three weeks ago. I've had a lot done to my nose, osteotomy, humpectomy, septum correction, tiplasty as well as ear cartilage grafts and silicon implants. The lower bridge area above my tip sticks out and is kind of droopy. Have you seen this 'PARTICULAR' swelling that lasted this long before? Or is it some kind of bone or cartilage which should've been removed. It looked like this immediately after cast removal which scares me. What is a supratip and do I have one?
