Bump on septum two weeks after septorhinoplasty?

June 19, 2018
Asked By:nosequestionss in Raleigh-Durham, NC

Two weeks ago I had a septorhinoplasty. I recently discovered a bump in my left nostril. It is about a q-tip length up my nostril and it is blocking about half my nostril. It is on the inside, against my septum. What could this be? I saw my surgeon a couple of days ago and he said that it was a scab and that my nose was dry and swollen, but this does not at all appear to be a scab. Could it be displaced cartilage? Could my septum just be deviated in a new place? Could it be an internal stitch?
