Hard Lumps Either Side of Nose Bridge
Hello, I had open rhinoplasty 14 days ago to narrow the bridge, the bridge appears narrower but either side of the bridge on my facial area under my eyes where the incisions were made is now a hard lump area that feels like bone. These were not there before the op?could this be swelling or will the surgeon have moved bone or cartlidge from the bridge to this area?thankyou!

Lumps Following Rhinoplasty
What you describe can certainly be within the normal range of healing. Osteotomies are often performed to narrow the bridge during rhinoplasty. This involves a very careful cutting of the nasal bone that tracks along the area you are describing. In the short term, you can see and feel some excess prominence in this region. In all likelihood this will resolve with time and further healing. Make sure to ask this same question of your rhinoplasty surgeon and get their specific feedback....

Hard Lumps on Either Side of Nasal Dorsum (Bridge) After Rhinoplasty
Hi lindsay,
The area that you are describing is where the osteotomies are made during rhinoplasty (the cuts in the bone that narrow the upper 1/3). They should resolve with time. Discuss your concerns with your rhinoplasty surgeon. Hope that you love your new nose. Be well.

Lumps on Either Side of Nasal Bridge
Your surgeon did a controlled frature of the nasal bones to narrow the bridge. You're feeling a temporary irregularity where the nasal bones were separated from the cheek. Be patient - this will resolve.
