I had a septorhinoplasty done last October Within the month after my surgery I noticed a lump on the tip of my nose. I am over 6 months post op Now and the lump is more there and prominent as ever and affecting the shape of my nose. I saw my surgeon he said cartilage he used in the graft had dislodged. He can fix it with revision but we still have to wait until at least 6 months. What is the likely outcome of this revision and should I find a surgeon specialised inthis particular revision?

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Yes - that is probably a bit of irregular cartilage and be addressed only with revision rhinoplasty. Personally I may do it in the office under local anesthesia as the rest of your nose is good to you. 6 months is not a bad idea for a time frame.

Answer: The small bump on the bridge of your nose may be bone, not cartilage. Before reading your narrative about a cartilage graft being displaced, I thought that this would be a relatively simple situation of having an overly projected persistent nasal bone. When there is a bony protuberance at the top of the nose, since there is minimal swelling there at 6 months post-operative, sometimes and endonasal revision to lower the bump can be considered. If you're otherwise happy with the appearance of your nose, and don't wish to wait another 6 months, consider getting a second opinion from another reputable rhinoplasty specialist. Hope this helps!
