I had closed rhinoplasty one year and 2 months ago,but swelling just went down recently and for the last few months I have been noticing formation like callus on the right side of my nose and a bit on its bridge. As the swelling is going down,it's becoming more prominent,especially under certain light. Is there any not so invasive way to remove this? Thank you in advance!

Answer: Irregularity after Rhinoplasty Your picture does show some irregular to the dorsum of the nose. It appears to be an area of fullness as well as an area of depression. The most common cause after rhinoplasty for this type of shape is due to the contour of the underlying cartilage in this area and not scar tissue formation. It is very typical for this to be noticeable after the swelling has finally resolved. If it is a concern I would recommend visiting with your surgeon and they can give you your options to improve the area. Good luck.

Answer: In office procedure An examination would be necessary to give you treatment options with confidence, but often these small dorsal irregularities can be smoothed out under local anesthesia in the office.
