Do I need treatment for this abscess in my nose after rhinoplasty?

If your condition is worsening, please visit your surgeon as soon as possible. If you have an abscess, it may be treated with local drainage, culture, and antibiotics. Hope this helps, and I wish you a speedy and uneventful recovery.Dr Joseph

Sorry to hear about what is going on.  You really should go see your surgeon as soon as you can.  If possible, send him the images that you have posted here to give him a better idea of what is happening.  Sometimes you can get a small abscess from a dissolving stitch that your body simply does not like.  However, they would know what was done during the surgery in that area and if so, what to expect.  That being said, treating them can be quite simple.  As was discussed earlier, opening it and putting you on oral antibiotics with nasal sprays usually does the trick.  As long as its treated appropriately and promptly, it should have no serious effect on your end result.  However, I strongly recommend you see your surgeon as there is no point in prolonging what you are going through.  Best of luck. 

Thank you very much for enquire.It's too early to make value judgments with 1 month after a rhinoplasty.Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity.In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months.To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

You should see your surgeon as soon as possible. This is not a normal part of your recovery. You may have a localized access, follicular cyst or granuloma and it needs to be treated, drained or removed. Please contact your surgeon today and arrange a visit. Good luck. 

Thank you for the question and photos and sorry to hear about your rhinoplasty healing issue.  Yes, you should seek treatment from your surgeon sooner rather than later.  Treatment of the abscess may be as simple as opening it up and placing you on oral antibiotics as well as nasal sprays to keep it clean.  It may go away on its own and it may have no affect on your overall result but there is no point in suffering or taking the chance that it may affect the healing in that area.All the best,Dr. Remus Repta
