Bumpb Regrowth After Rhinoplasty on the Nose Bridge?

Steven9157Jun 13, 2012
8 months ago I had a nose surgery to remove the bump on my nose bridge. They also straightened it because I had problems breathing through my nose. After everything was removed out of my nose and I could remove the cask everything was perfect. Just a bit of swelling but my nose looked good. After a while the swelling went away but 6 months later my bump started growing back little by little. That can't be swelling right? If I push on the bump it goes down for about 15 seconds. What can this be?

Dear Spacejam,   Typically, for a patient with thick skin the swelling resolution takes a bit longer than usual.   However, Cordran tape will not reduce the swelling at this point. As for the corticosteroid injections - Kenalog - their help may be pretty limited...

Dear J,   I am sorry about the small accident you had.   Without photographs and physical examination it is hard to predict the damage made if any.   Usually, the first 3-4 weeks after Rhinoplasty the nose is delicate and the process of healing should not...
