I have a slight hump that appeared about 3 months post op on my bridge and I think my tip is still protruding too much from a 45° angle, my surgeon hasn't addressed any of my concerns, and I'm beginning to worry I may need some tweaks, rasping, and I want the red bump on my nose removed. I brought these concerns up in the 1st consult but he refused to remove the tiny red bump, while I was under then tried to charge me more money at my 6 month follow up to have it removed.

Answer: While you're continuing to heal, have a reputable dermatologist look at your red bump. If the red bump on your nose has a round and smooth appearance, it may simply be a capillary hemangioma. We treat these in the office with a drop of local anesthetic and light electrocautery. This typical results in a small scab that falls off, and there should be no downtime. It's possible that your rhinoplasty surgeon may not be comfortable with dermatologic electrocautery techniques, or shave biopsies. I would sit tight for another six months with your nose before considering any anything surgical, since you look particularly swollen in your last photo that reveals your oblique photo. If you can live with the projection of your nasal tip, depending on your examination, microdroplets Silikon 1000 nasal injections may be considered for camouflaging your small profile bump, and that would also lead to the appearance of slightly less nasal tip projection. Sometimes it's helpful to get a second opinion from another local reputable rhinoplasty specialist. I hope this is helpful, and I wish you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
