Is it worth risking getting my bossae removed by external incision? What is the likelihood it will return? (photos)

Asked By:catsarelife in Nova Scotia, NS

I have a small nasal bossa as the one shown in this photo (I know, terribly small). My Dr. would like to make an external incision to fix this. Is this a normal thing to do? I can't find anyone else doing it. He said I would be walking around with stitches for about a week. I am also worried that if he makes it smaller or removes it that the other side will poke out as that is how it feels when I touch it. Would it be better to do the dome technique?

Answer: Your tip irregularity after rhinoplasty surgery is at least partially from your thin skin.
