Rhinoplasty cartilage graft feels pointy in nasal tip. What would a revision look like? (Photo)

Asked By:Mollyconnelly1989 in Cincinnati, OH

I just had a rhinoplasty 10 days ago. The day I got home I noticed a pointy bump on my nostril. It's red and hurt and had a little scab on it. When I got my cast off on day 7 my surgeon said it's the cartilage graft and gave me antibiotic and it hurts less bad and a little less red but it's still there and pointy. Will this go away on its own? What would a revision look like? My surgeon didn't really want to talk about it.
