The nose undergoes significant changes in the first 2 to 12 weeks following rhinoplasty. Swelling can persist during this time, particularly in the tip and over the area where a boney hump was removed. The swelling can also fluctuate.

Could lump on the nose be swelling after Rhinoplasty?
I underwent a Nose job 14 days ago to remove a hump and to elevate the tip. So far, not so good. After removal of splint and swelling subsided, I found that a small lump is still on the left side of my bridge and more to my frustration day by day, I find that the tip is going downward.
When I asked my doctor he said that its not a bone its residual swelling and the tip after time will go upward is it true? Any help or advice? Should I wait? What to do?
Read my review "still got bump and tip go downward by time.is it normal?"

Some irregularities may appear after a rhinoplasty. Some do disappear as time goes by because of differential swelling. However, it is unlikely that a tip will go up again if the tip is already dropping.
A: It is best for you to wait to judge this.
It takes 6-12 months for the swelling and differences of the 2 sides to resolve. Be patient and it is unlikely that you will need anything else done.
A: Unfortunately, you need to give Rhinoplasty results time
Many things happen after a rhinoplasty procedure that produce a significant amount of swelling. This can significantly alter the shape of the nose.

A: 14 days is too soon to see your final result after Rhinoplasty.
The residual fullness on your bridge may well be swelling that could take several months to completely resolve. I don't think your tip will rotate up with time. Gravity has the opposite effect. In any event, there is no emergency, and you should wait for the swelling to completely resolve before considering... more
A: Too early to evaluate rhinoplasty results
It is too early to evaluate the result. You need to give more time and let your nose go through healing process. Re-evaluate the result after six months.
A: Need to wait more time after Rhinoplasty
It is still too early to make any final judgements. I have had patients with large humps who required more time for the swelling to go down. In some cases, it has taken just 2 weeks, in other cases, it has taken 2 months. I recommend you give it more time. Also, make sure to follow all instructions and return... more
A: I would give it more time
Unfortunately, 2 weeks after a rhinoplasty is very early, and you will see some significant changes in your nose over the next several months. It's way too early to know if the bump that bothers you is from swelling or a residual anatomic structure. Hopefully with time, it will settle down as most things do.... more
