Bump on my Nose That Wasnt Thier Before 2 Months After Rhinoplasty? (photo)
I had my profile reduced,and the front of my nose thinned a little.3 weeks after, i began to feel a small bump (right side on bridge directly below my eye)which has gradually got bigger and is now slightly visible . It feels like bone.I'm wondering if this will go/reduce and can it worsen, i didn't even have this bump to begin with :( My surgeon said when i went in at 3/4 weeks that we would have to wait, he did lots to my nose and it must heal,he said no nose feels perfect...

Rhinoplasty - post surgery bump
