Q. Question about nasal inflammation: foreign-body sensation near the cartilage... inflammation? cyst?

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the chief surgeon of Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic, creating high-quality results with meticulous technique.

Today’s answer note is for someone who asked out of concern about nasal inflammation.

Q. Question about nasal inflammation: I have a foreign-body sensation near the cartilage. Is it inflammation?

It has now been 3 weeks since my nose surgery. To be exact, it has been 17 days.

I kept touching inside my nostrils because clear nasal discharge kept running out.

In that triangle area? Or rather... above that, near the nasal cartilage, something round has appeared, and I’m not sure whether it is nasal inflammation. Could it be a cyst? Or is it inflammation?

There is no pain separately, but from what I can see, it doesn’t look red either, so I think it might be a cyst, but I’m leaving a question because I’m feeling anxious.

1. Can smoking cause nasal inflammation?

2. It seems like a cyst... If I go to the hospital, how will treatment proceed?

3. I want to know whether surgery is necessary or whether I should take medication.

4. How much will the treatment cost?

Nasal inflammation can occur, but if there is no pain and no redness, the likelihood is low.

However, since the possibility of nasal inflammation is not completely zero, please visit the clinic where you had the surgery and have it checked.

If it is inflammation, treatment with antibiotics and disinfection will be done while monitoring the progress, and if necessary, even silicone removal may be performed.

It would be helpful to visit the hospital and check whether it is inflammation or a cyst.

I hope you get a good result. Thank you.
