Bump in glabella 2 years post rhinoplasty. Is this too dangerous to remove? (photos)

LauraMantillaOct 10, 2023
After my last rhinoplasty over 2 years ago, I developed a bump n the glabella and I want to remove it. On the glabella there is a main artery going to the eyes and I read that if it’s cut I could die bleed and if the artery is accidentally injected with a vasoconstrictor to stop bleeding it could block the artery and make me blind. Is this true? We don’t know if the bump is a callus or a lipogranuloma from antibiotic ointment. Thanks in advance

Hello! Nostril correction can be done easly. Your nose tip is short. Short and elevated tip cause pig nose apperance. It should be elongated. I suppose, rib cartilage will be needed in your case. Nostrils should be adjusted according to new tip. It can be done with alarplasty.
