I am 3 weeks post op and I have a very large lump on one side of my nose. I have looked at a lot of reviews and I haven't seen any with a lump this big. Is this just swelling or did I get botched? I also have a lot of dried blood blockage which makes it hard to breath-

Answer: Irregularities after rhinoplasty Hey there. I see what you're talking about. Without examining you it's tough to say what's going on with your nose. Three weeks out is a pretty short amount of time; you certainly have some degree of swelling that will need to settle still. For the crusting, use plenty of saline spray in your nose. You should be able to get this for a couple of dollars from a local pharmacy or supermarket. Please make sure you share your concerns with your surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Following rhinoplasty Contour irregularity following rhinoplasty may result from surgical maneuvers taken. It seems that your bulge may correlate with an alar batten graft that may have been put into the lateral middle vault. You really need to ask your rhinoplasty surgeon for details of the operation.
