Nasal Mucosa After Closed Rhinoplasty is Lumpy and irregular. Any suggestions? (photos)

March 11, 2016
Asked By:Hope4Nose in Los Angeles, CA

I had a closed revision rhinoplasty almost 3 weeks ago. Since the surgery, I noticed the nasal mucosa is lumpy, bumpy, and irregular inside the nostrils up against the septal wall (where the incisions were made). The right nostril is much more lumpy and irregular compared to the left nostril which has a smoother surface. What causes this and will it smooth out over time or is it a result of the way incisions were closed, etc? It doesn't feel infected; I've been using neosporin just in case.
