Is the bump on my nose any sign of deformity? (Photo)

Question

I am on my 8 month right now of closed rhinoplasty and this bump appeared at the 4th month. It's not hard and feels like cartilage. My doctor said that it's okay and won't go away but i am feeling like I'm being lied to.

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination.

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

In your second photo, the oblique view, I believe there is an area of asymmetrical tip cartilage that may be poking through your skin. If that is the case, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for permanently camouflaging this area. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

At eight months, your results are final or very close to final.
This is the outcome of your procedure.
I think your doctor is being honest by saying that this is your result and it’s probably not going to change.
When posting pictures consider always, including before pictures as well.
If you don’t have before and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
