Hard Bump Under Eye Corner After Rhinoplasty

I just got Rhinoplasty about 4 days ago. Most of the swelling has gone down, but I just recently discovered a bump, more like a sharp bone, under the corner of my eye/top of my nose. I am positive that this occurred after the surgery; could it be more swelling? My surgery included trimming down the bump of the nose, and narrowing down the sides.

You may be feeling the spot where the bones were broken ( or osteotomized).  Check with your doctor to make sure.  Minor irregularities and slight bumps under the skin are common after rhinoplasty.

When removing a bump during rhinoplasty surgery, the nasal bones are usually broken and repositioned. You may be feeling one of those fracture lines. It would be an exercise in futility to evaluate and give advice four days after surgery. Be patient. You will continue to heal and improve.

If there is still a bump there after several months, it might be the transition point of where the bones were surgically... more
