Protruding tissue in nostril came back after septorhinoplasty. Would a revision septoplasty help? (photos)

Based upon your photos, the bulge on the inside of your right nostril appears to represent your caudal septum. If your surgeon is not comfortable correcting this, please consult with a reputable rhinoplasty specialist so you can feel comfortable moving forward. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

It seems that the deviated caudal septum causes protrusion of the one side of the nostril. Revision septoplasty correcting the caudal deflection might correct the problem. It might need an open approach for proper correction.

Hello, The part you are seeing is the cartilage of the "medial crural footplate" and in cases like this it's usually being pushed over by the septum. If it was corrected after surgery and recurred later, it is likely your surgeon stabilized the septum in the middle, but it may have curved back over. Cartilage can have memory and over come the corrections. A revision would correct this by fixing the septum and securing it in the middle, bolstering it with another cartilage, and/or replacing this segment with a straight piece of cartilage. So yes there are ways to correct this. The first step is to have an honest discussion with your surgeon to see what they would like to do about it. If you do not like their answer, then consult with other rhinoplasty surgeons. Hope that helps! Good luck!
