Asked By:emmasi7 in San Jose, CA

I had open surgery 4 months ago (used rib cartilage) and about a month after my surgery, a bump grew inside my nostril. It feels really hard and now one of my nostril is 50% smaller than the normal one because of it. Do you think I should be concerned about this? Do I need a revision?
