Asked By:radz1388 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Hello all, Firstly, I am aware I should direct all queries to my surgeon, but he is on holiday now and for quite some while, so I need someone to put my fears to rest. I have a lump on the right side of my nose, under my eye, which I discovered 6 days after surgery. It is firm, but does not feel like none. I'm ol tempted to massage it if it was localised swelling, but I don't really know what it is or what I'm doing. Help!

Thanks for your question. The
Ocean Spray is perfectly fine to use in the postoperative period for
rhinoplasty. In fact, this is something
I recommend for use with my patients.
