Asked By:laylapowell in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

My dog hit my nose after septoplasty/ and rhino on my third week of healing. I bleed immediately for 10 mins and went to emergency. I was told there was no fracture or break but my nose now has a big lump underneath and has a bump exactly where I got it removed. It is no longer smooth but lumpy and looks awful even under the skin. Will I need another surgery? My surgeon told me it was fine but it looks completely different.
