Why has a lump formed in my nostril under skin graft on my nose?

I would begin pulsed dye laser treatments at this time with Biocorneum.  I usually do fractional co2 resurfacing 6 weeks after large flaps.  You can get a significant improvement from this.  See a laser specialist to get the best results.  Dr. Emer.

No the swelling and redness are part of the healing process however I have gone back on some patients to excise the swollen area and have also done focal, fine liposuction of the thick area.  The dog ear of skin usually does need excision.  Each surgeon will have a different point at...

The asymmetry is most likely a result of swelling if it's only 12 hours post-procedure.  In fact, minor swelling could be present for many months.  Wait a few weeks to see how things heal.  Good luck!

Horizontal or oblique scars do well on the forehead, depending on whether they are in the central or lateral parts of the face. Glabellar forehead scars do better when they are vertical.  I follow Langers lines for incision placement whenever possible. Best, Dr....
