What is this lump on my nasal sidewall? Rhinoplasty in 2017 (Photo)

Question

Had rhinoplasty in 2017. This lump is in between the skin . What is this and how easy is this to remove without having full surgery again. Can this be removed by a dermatologist or will it have to ge by a rhinoplasty specialist. I just would like this removed please.

Hi! I can't say for sure what this is. It looks like it might be a bunch of scar tissue but hard to say. I would see if you can get your op note to see if anything unusual was placed here that could be causing some kind of reaction like an implant and/or filler or something. Otherwise, I would try to do a steroid injection first to see if that helps calm it down vs. going straight for removal. It may be better to have a surgeon do this.
