If you had a benign fibroma removed from the inside of your nose, and if this has grown back and become a large bump, you should certainly bring this to the attention of your surgeon. If you have a recurrent or persistent growth in your nose, please consider visiting a reputable otolaryngologist for evaluation and management. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. If your surgery was recent, it could be swelling and you should consider having your surgeon inject steroids. If it was much longer ago, then a revision rhinoplasty would be the best option. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
