Hump still there after Rhinoplasty

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Will my nose hump go?

Hi, I had Rhinoplasty 2weeks ago to help me breathe easier. I had a prominent hump on my nose and my nose deviated one centimetre to the right. I had my splint removed after 10 days and was shocked to see that my nose still had a hump which looked slightly smaller than the original one.

But having said that, the rest of my nose is still swollen. So I am still worried,as I think that when my swelling has gone,the hump will be even more noticeable. Or do you think the hump is just swelling as well? Please give me some reassurance. Thank you.

Hi Tancarin,

Your surgeon is the best person to speak with regarding your hump concerns. It appears as if the very top of your nose is shallow. It is best to wait at least 6 months after Rhinoplasty to re-access the nose, and revision surgeries are not recommended for at least 6 to 12 months after the original surgery.

After 4 to 6 weeks, if the hump still bothers you, you can speak to your surgeon about the benefits of having temporary filler placed to fill that shallow area (the so called non-surgical nose job) at the top of your nose to camouflage the hump.

Be patient and speak with your surgeon. Good luck and be well.

Dr. P
