I have had cortisone shots to it, and it still won't go away. I'm not exactly sure what it is either. Please let me know what to do thank you.
Answer: Rhinoplasty revision It appears that your lump is result of under-corrected lower lateral cartilage. Only on the basis of in person evaluation right diagnosis can be made. Revision rhinoplasty, possibly tip only, should be considered. Good luck.

Answer: Post-operative lump Based on the photos , it is most likely cartilage (lower lateral cartilage, to be exact). Injecting steroids will have no effect and may even worsen the prominence by causing the surrounding fat to atrophy. It is easily corrected with a simple revision.

Answer: I had septorhinoplasty 4 years ago, and I developed some form of a bump on the side of my nose. How do I remove it? In person exam is essential. Based on limited photos- improvements can be achieved with Revision Rhinoplasty. I suggest that you seek an experienced Rhinoplasty Surgeon

Answer: Nasal evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. This area is likely cartilage. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining revision rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon. If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon. Best wishes and good luck.
