Strange lump inside nostril. Please help!

Hi @Fierce4180. It would be difficult to determine the cause of the white bump in your nostril without an in person examination. This can be due to a suture, scar tissue, infection, etc. In addition, swelling of the tip is common. It can take up to one full year to see the final results of your rhinoplasty. I recommend calling your surgeon for an in person examination. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Hello !

It's difficult to determine the exact cause of the white bump on your nostril without a physical examination. However, it's possible that the bump may be an infection or a reaction to a suture or dissolvable stitch from your rhinoplasty surgery. It's best to consult with your plastic surgeon or an ENT specialist for an evaluation.

It's also normal to experience some changes in the appearance of your nose during the healing process. Swelling and fluctuations in the size and shape of the nasal tip are common, and it can take up to a year for the final results of your rhinoplasty to become apparent. However, if you have concerns about the appearance of your nose, it's best to discuss them with your plastic surgeon.

In summary, it's best to schedule an appointment with your plastic surgeon or an ENT specialist to have the white bump on your nostril evaluated. They can determine the cause of the bump and provide appropriate treatment if necessary. It's also a good opportunity to discuss any other concerns you have about the appearance of your nose with your surgeon.

Best of luck !
