Rhinoplasty complication one year after: 2 small pimple size bumps grew on the right side of my bridge. (Photo)

Asked By:Proud momma2009 in Dallas, TX

I had a rhinoplasty a year ago. I like the result and I am happy with it. However, 2 small pimple size bumps grew on the right side of my bridge almost 3 months after surgery and they are so painful whenever I touch them or put some make up and rub my cheek or the surrounding area, it causes a very sharp nerve like pain. Any idea what that is and how can I solve the problem?

Hi and welcome to our forum! Injectables can be administered at any time after rhinoplasty. However, if there is significant facial swelling after the rhinoplasty, it may obscure the area, making it more difficult to achieve symmetry with the injectable.  Speak with your surgeon. Best...
