6 weeks post rhinoplasty and I have a horizontal line forming across my nose! So I’m about 6 weeks into my rhinoplasty recovery and I noticed that a horizontal line has recently started to form on the middle part of my nose. Picture included. What does this mean and will it go away. It shows in my photos and also when I try to cover it with makeup. I’m scared it won’t go!

The nose reaches about 85% of its normal strength at eight weeks and is back to normal tensile strength at approximately one year. The force of the trauma should be about the same as if you never had a rhinoplasty. That being said it should be minimal if any damage from dropping a phone at that...
Hello and thanks for your questionOver time, silicone nasal implants can work themselves to the surface and even poke through the skin. I recommend seeing a nasal specialist who can evaluate you and assist you! Hope this helps and God Bless!Dr. Robb Jr.
