I had a septo-rhinoplasty 6 months ago and over time developed a small lump in my left nostril that slightly hangs out of my nose. I saw my doctor again who told me it was a cyst and he will cut it out and restitch the area under local anesthetic.

I will be seeing my doctor again but i would really appreciate a second opinion so that i can trust him.
