Asked By:Emmadd in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
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?
