Broken Nose a Year Ago and New Soft Bump, is It Permanent, Rhinoplasty Options?

January 17, 2011
Asked By:San Francisco67 in San Francisco, CA

11 months since I broke my nose. The break came after an impact to the right side of my nose that left a mild dent. Also, weirdly enough, I formed a new SOFT little bump that is visible from my right profile. My Q's: -Is this new bump permanent? It is soft bone and when I press on it it goes away. Could it be swelling? I periodically "flatten it out" and wonder if it would go away if I left it alone. -Am I a good candidate for reconstructive rhinosplasty and what are the options?
