Bumps in Nose Bridge After Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty I had Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty performed a month ago. I had a deviated septum that was blocking the right side of my nose. But now, I have a bump on the bridge of my nose (a bump I had before my surgery). What is this caused by, and will it go away on its own, or will they have to perform surgery again? My doctor gave me a steroid shot the other day. He says it takes up to 4 weeks to see results from the shot, but I am freaking out because it makes my nose look bad.

A: The bump may settle with time

You state that the bump you are describing was present before your surgery so it would be helpful to ask your surgeon whether or not any part of the procedure addressed the bump. If a technique was performed to reduce the bump you will have to wait until all the swelling and healing reaction completes itself to see if the bump will be corrected.
