Ive had a rhinoplasty a year ago, the tip is still swollen but I love my results on a good day. I have a small bump on one side of my nose that wasnt there before & has been there since I took the cast off. A surgeon suggested to shave it off but Im not ready to go through the process again. Is there any injections that could help?

It’s hard to understand what the problem is based on the pictures and what you describe. I suggest you follow up with your rhinoplasty surgeon if you have concerns regarding the outcome of the procedure.

Generally, repair of nasal stenosis involves cartilage grafting of the internal nasal valves or external nasal valves. Depending on how these grafts were placed, a slightly wider nasal appearance may ensue. If you're breathing is better after the surgery, it may be prudent to leave them alone...
The easiest solution might be to have your bridge raised several millimeters. In our practice we utilize microdroplet Silikon-1000 to Fill indentations and to raise a nasal bridge. Temporary fillers may be applicable as well depending on your examination. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
