Bump/cartilage graft showing through skin - can it be shaved down? (photos)

Hello, and thank you for your question. It isn't until a full year after a rhinoplasty that results are truly definitive. At this point, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. Your surgeon will evaluate your nose, recommend the best course of action to address your concerns and goals, and help ensure the best possible outcome.

Thank you for your question. An in-person examination is needed to determine the reason for the irregularity. If it is cartilage, a simple in-office procedure using the closed approach can normally be used to shave the cartilage down. I recommend going back to your surgeon or finding a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty to discuss. Best of luck!
