2.5 months post op, Pimple-like Bump on Columella by Incision for Open Rhinoplasty?

November 1, 2012
Asked By:nosebreather25 in Maryland

I had an open rhinoplasty (& septo) 2.5 months ago. About a week ago a pimple-like bump appeared on the columella. I saw that this question has been asked before, so I know that it's recommended that I see my plastic surgeon. My only question is whether I have to see a plastic surgeon, or can I see a dermatologist, or even a general practitioner? I'm at school far away from the surgeon who operated on my nose, and since she messed up on it, I would rather not see her anyways. Thanks,
