Bump on the side of my nose - will it go away or will I need a revision?

Dear Tasteful479077,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos, you have thick skin and 9 months is too early to make a decide. The final result can be seen like 1,5 years later. However, it looks like these bump is serious than the swelling. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best regards!

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. Your rhinoplasty results appear favorable overall, and you are correct in waiting until your nose is fully healed before considering a revision. Addressing the bump first requires determining the cause, as it may be the result of either swelling or cartilage protrusion. If it is caused by swelling, time and perhaps steroid injections may diminish its appearance. If the bump is caused by cartilage, revision surgery may be necessary to correct it. Keep in mind that each subsequent nose surgery becomes more complex due to loss of structural support, scar tissue, and other factors. The importance of experience, expertise, and artistry cannot be overstated. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to review your surgical history, assess your concern, and determine the best course of action.
