My nose job was several months ago. The cartilage in my nose now seems very lumpy. Is this normal and will eventually clear up as I heal? Is it scar tissue? Should I be concerned by this?
Answer:
You should see your own plastic surgeon to be examined. You could be noticing normal cartilage contour or scar tissue or swelling or grafts in your nose. There are many possibilities. Most noses may not feel totally smooth and symmetric to the touch after a rhinoplasty due to healing edges of bone and cartilage but if the lumpiness is clearly visible then your cosmetic surgeon should figure out the cause. He may show you some massages you can do to help mold the nose.
