Is it likely that a nose thread lift can shift/ break/ get stuck against the nose tip? Can it be fixed? (Photos)

Question

Dear doctors,It has been 1.5 weeks since my nose thread lift.Right now, at the 1.5 week mark, it’s still bruised. I think it’s slightly slanted. I have a bump just above the injection mark. The injection mark is fading very slowly, but it’s still there. I am worried that the thread has moved or broken in my nose tip, hence causing the bump. Is the thread broken inside and pushing against my skin? I appreciate all help and advice greatly. Thank you.

Dear Fatcatt
It looks like there is slight thread extrusion. 
Factors causing this could be : 
1. Thread was too long ( not pushed up the nose bridge enough )
2. Thread didn't hook onto the skin properly and thus loosened, and the ending part of it jutting out of the skin
You will need to visit the doctor to make a needle puncture and trim off the excess loosened part of the thread, otherwise this issue will not go away.
