Subcutaneous Scarring Causing Hump Post Rhinoplasty?

April 7, 2015
Asked By:BambiBrit in West Hollywood, CA

I had a rhinoplasty about 4 years ago and I have developed a noticeable hump on the right side (looks like swelling causing my nose to appear crooked)due to a subcutaneous scar. My surgeon wants to perform a small procedure in which he will carve away the scar tissue. I am nervous that this surgery will result in another scar. Also, what is the typical healing process on a procedure such as this?
