I have a small cyst on the left side of my nose, initially I thought it was a pimple but it has been on my nose for about 2 years. I've tried to get rid of it but nothing has worked. I'm scheduled for rhinoplasty in 2 weeks, could somebody PLEASE tell me if this will interfere with my surgery at all and if my surgeon should remove it while he is doing the procedure? Could the cyst interfere with my healing in any way?***What would you recommend? Please give me a quick response.
