Bulge on side of nose, bumps on bridge & pointed tip following septorhinoplasty in 2017, options? (Photos)

July 2, 2023
Asked By:brookemp in New York, New York

I had a septorhinoplasty in 2017 which did not completely fix my deviated septum, so I had a revision septoplasty in 2019. I now have a bulge on the right side of my nose, which is creating a crooked appearance of the tip. I can’t tell what the bulge is, but when pressing on the top of it I can hear a crackling sound like there is mucus trapped. There are also a lot of uneven bumps on the bridge, and for some reason my tip has become pointier over time. What are my options here?
