Scab that reopens in nose 2+ years post rhinoplasty

elenacourtneyMay 17, 2022
I have a scab or what feels like little cut that reopens in one of my nostrils now and then post rhinoplasty where my nostril meets my septum. It twinges and hurts a little and when it comes back I can see a little 'cut' at my nostril. Is this ever normal?

As the edema in the nose starts to subside, soft "V" deformities may emerge. This condition can be corrected. If it does not bother you and does not cause breathing problems, there is no need for intervention :).
