If all else heals well, your nasal bridge may be improved without further surgery.
1 month post-op is too soon to judge your final result. Swelling above your tip may improve over the next few months. If your nasal profile does not improve over time, you may wish to be evaluated for a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty to add volume to any indented areas of your bridge. My expertise and preference is with Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results.
Keep us posted, and all the best to you.

Post rhinoplasty with bump and irregularity.
Post rhinoplasty with bump and irregularity at 1 month may be swelling but your concerns are well founded. Ask your surgeon why you have this and if you are uncomfortable with the answer seek a second opinion from a revision rhinoplasty specialist. Just because someone does a good nose on the computer means nothing! It sis the long term results the surgeon has that is important.

More importantly, you should discuss your concerns with your surgeon. It is difficult to comment on your current situation without examining you in person. If you don't like what your surgeon tells you, then get a second opinion from a local experienced plastic...

Post Rhinoplasty recovery
Dear Wonkynose, Yes you are correct it appears you currently have a slight . saddle deformity and your nose appears overly shortened. With this said please keep in mind that things change during this recovery phase and you are only 34 days post surgery. Your original pre-operative profile photograph shows a nice nose however I do not have any front photographs to view to see what your requested changes were? I would speak with your surgeon regarding your concerns as he/she knows best...
