9 months post-op - There’s a bump on the right side of my nose, what could it be? (Photos)

melih1122Jun 27, 2022
I got a rhinoplasty done in September 2021, so 9 months ago. I know that swelling can last quite long, but I’m worried this isn’t swelling. There’s this weird bump on the right side of my nose. When I touch it, it tingles and is a bit sensitive, but feels quite hard. I am considering going to my surgeon, but wanted to see what others have to say. I didn’t have this before the rhinoplasty and it makes my nose look crooked. After surgery it was straight aswell

Good Afternoon! I'm sorry that you're experiencing trouble with your surgical result. For nostril asymmetry after a base reduction and rhinoplasty, you certainly have to be careful. That's not to say improvements can't be made. You have to be careful with making them too small in a revision...

How to widen a narrow “pinched” nose? Your nose does not look particularly narrow or “pinched“ to me in the before photos, nor do I see a great difference in the “after“ with the cotton. However in general, a narrow nose can be widened by placing Cartlidge grafts on one or both sides of the sept...

Hello, If the trauma was strong, it might have caused a fracture in the bridge of your nose. It is better to see a rhinoplasty surgeon who can examine you properly and see what options are available for you.

Yes you can have a surgery just to improve the shape of the tip of your nose. The approach of the surgery will be similar to having full rhinoplasty, but the extent of the surgery will be less

Thank you for your question. After rhinoplasty surgery, the cartilage and overall structure of your nose will be softer. Therefore, getting a piercing can cause damage. It is recommended for patients to wait at least 3 months before they consider getting a piercing. Your surgeon needs to confirm...
