I had a septorhinoplasty about four years ago. I was left with a bump that feels like either scar tissue or cartilage on my bridge, right where my bone and cartilage meet. I would rather not undergo revision rhinoplasty at this point, is there any other option to make my nose look more normal?
Answer: What is the bump on the bridge of your nose, and how can it be fixed? What is the bump on the bridge of your nose, and how can it be fixed? The bump on the bridge of the nose could be either residual bony hump, callus formation on the bone, or the edge of your upper lateral Cartlidge, or some residual debris left behind. If it bothers you enough revision might involve surgery. But if it is Cartlidge and not bone some surgeons have had success using a large bore needle inserted through the skin with some local anesthesia to scrape it down.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty There might exist the option of filler to make the transition from the bony elements and the cartilaginous elements more confluent, but a physical exam would be necessary to determine if this were possible. If you required something more involved, a revision rhinoplasty would be the answer. Did you speak with your original surgeon about your concern? Was your surgeon helpful? If not, I recommend that you consult in person with a board certified plastic surgeon who has decades of experience with revision rhinoplasty.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Many Thanks for your questions and for sharing your photographs. Such irregularities do occur sometimes after a rhinoplasty. Small irregularities are ironically more difficult to correct surgically.
