How to get rid of nasal tip bossae?

March 16, 2014
Asked By:Nothappy411

I had rhinoplasty in 2009. Since then, my nose developed a bossae near the tip on the left side. It makes my nose look deviated to the left and longer in side view. Is there any way to get rid of it with applying pressure or massaging it? If surgery is required can it be done with a quick fix like just shaving the cartilage down? Or does a full blown revision rhinoplasty have to be done?
