Asked By:Practical340547 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Hello, I had rhinoplasty 15 years ago and for the past 4-5 years I’ve been bothered by what I thought was a large black head on top of nose. Turns out it’s a dark blue suture on tip of nose. It’s very noticeable. I’ve been told 100x by people there is something on the tio of my nose so obviously I want this fixed. Do I make an appointment with a new surgeon? I’m sure my previous surgeon is retired by now lol
