Bump on the tip after rhinoplasty 7 months ago - is this scarring? (photos)

February 14, 2022
Asked By:linalina0606 in New York, New York

I had a surgery 7 months ago and I started noticing on one side a small bump on the tip area. I know is not one year but I would like to know if this is scarring or is something else ? I don’t want again to go through that surgery since I was miserable and I am afraid that it might be more visible and my nose would look deformed.
