Post Rhinoplasty Bump on Inside of Nostril and Red Swollen "Membrane": Normal?

jaime34
I had rhinoplasty 3 wks ago. 3 days ago I noticed a sore red bump inside my left nostril, at the edge of my columella where the incision begins (suture issue?). When looking at it with a flashlight to get a good view, I ended up looking deeper into the left nostril, and noticed a thick reddish "membrane" deep into the hole which appears to almost fill the passage. The right nostril looks perfect; I can see clearly all the way through. Is this normal internal swelling or a complication? Thanks!!!
