Red thickening on columella 18 days after rhinoplasty and red bump with white bubble

Question

I have red thickening all way across incision after rhinoplasty but I also have red fleshy bump with white bubble inside nostrel 17 days post op rhinoplasty

Mark Hamilton, MD · Answer

As rhinoplasty incisions heal, both inside and outside the nose, things can become more red and thickened.Inside the mucosal lining can have redundant and visible tissue. It is important to continue would care as long as your surgeon recommends to keep these incisions clean. Scar fading cream can help redness and thickness fade from the external columellar incision.In short, nothing sounds out of the ordinary, but I would recommend seeing your surgeon to evaluate your progress and make necessary recommendations.
