Lose skin and hard bumps on nose 1.5 years after septorhinoplasty - is this callous? (Photos)

Question

I had septorhinoplasty performed 1.5 year ago, but I still have this loose skin on both sides of the nose, in the same spots.b I have very thick skin and a lot of work was performed during surgery, but I’m worries this is not just skin shrinkage problem but maybe a side effect of surgery? I also have hard bonelike bumps on my bridge, I noticed them 2 month after surgery and they are still present, is it callus? Thank you for your time.

Hello! Thank you for your question. From the photo you provided, the bump you asked about might be a cartilage or similar. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. I can recommend you revision rhinoplasty for get rid of this bump and the other things you concern of. Best Regards!

You appear to have thick oily skin on the tip of your nose, everyone's nasal skin becomes thinner at the top of the nose. Based on your photos, I believe you are seeing bony irregularities through relatively thin nasal skin. Depending on your examination, sometimes issues like this can be addressed with fillers to improve nasal symmetry. Sometimes revision Rhinoplasty is required. Please consider Consulting with a reputable rhinoplasty specialist so you could see what might be the next best steps for you to move forward. Wishing you well. Dr Joseph

Overall your result is fine. You have a few minor irregularities that are to be expected sometimes after rhinoplasty.  You could try fillers on the bridge if your nose if you like as an alternative to a complete surgical revision.

It is not uncommon for patients to experience residual swelling and skin changes for up to two years following septorhinoplasty surgery. However, if you are concerned about the appearance of loose skin on the sides of your nose, it would be best to follow up with your surgeon for an evaluation. They will be able to assess the condition of your skin and determine if there is any underlying issue that needs to be addressed.

Regarding the hard bumps on your bridge, they may be callus formation, which can occur during the healing process after surgery. However, again, it is important to have your surgeon examine them to determine their cause and whether any further intervention is necessary.

In general, it is always a good idea to follow up with your surgeon if you have any concerns or questions about your recovery after surgery. They are the best resource for evaluating your condition and providing personalized recommendations for your specific situation.

Best of luck !
