4 weeks postop from a revision rhinoplasty;I have noticed a little bump on the dorsum.I think this bump is growing, but I'm not sure. There was a slight bump after the cast was removed(day 7),but only felt by touch.Now it's visible as you can see in the pictures.I'm becoming extremely worried and obsessive thinking this bump may grow,looking at the mirror hundred of times per day,touching the bump,etc.If it stays this way I don't mind,but I have this fear of regrowing! Why and What is this bump?

You should ask your Rhinoplasty Surgeon.

It is unethical for another surgeon to give you advice during the immediate post-op phase after a Rhinoplasty or any surgery.

Consult your rhinoplasty surgeon, who did the surgery.after examination one can tell if it is a cartilage , bone or may be a small hematoma. It is possible it is part of the original hump, cartilage or a bone that became more prominent after the swelling came down. You need to wait 3-6 months, if it is still there or became more prominent it can be smoothed.
