Hard bumps on nose tip - could this be scar tissue? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. The hard bumps you're describing appear to be what is known as greater alar cartilage and shouldn’t be a cause for concern. This is a natural feature of the nose and not a result of scar tissue. However, if they’re causing you discomfort or you don’t like the way your nose looks, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to better assess your concerns and provide an answer and solution that may work for you.

Hello @Raisa vaes, thank you for your question and showing you pictures. It could be scar tissue or it could also be that the doctor used some sort of graft to make the nose look more elevated. I suggest that you have a check-up with the treating physician to clear up any doubts. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeons for more information and recommendations. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Most likely it is tip cartilage showing through the thin skin on the tip. I would not do anything. Your result looks really nice

Hello, if your doctor used permanent stitches, they can become superficial after a year and cause the painful protrusions you mentioned. I’m the only triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon all around Europe. I’m just focused on this issue. I am a doctor who goes to almost every country in the world and explains my techniques to important doctors with the seminar invitations I receive, so I am definitely the only doctor who can perform your operation very comfortably and successfully. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile (+90 539 204 40 90). You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

What are the bumps on the tip of your nose? it appears that these “bumps“ are a protrusion of your lower lateral Cartlidges through what appears to be fairly thin skin. as such, they are a normal structure. I cannot tell from the photographs if they are in proper position, or if there is some asymmetry.
