5 Months Post-op - Small Bumps on Top of Septum

Tags: bumps, septum

I had a Septo-rhinoplasty about five months ago, and my swelling has gone down very nicely since, and can see changes every week. However, on the top of my septum, down the nose, I can feel slight bumps, which give an undesirable look to my profile. When I warm the tissue with a light massage and then lightly press down on them, I can feel them squash down, but them they go back after a few seconds. Is this just residual swelling?

5 months post rhinoplasty

You may feel slight irregularities under neath the skin. This is quite normal. If they are visible, you may need a revision to lightly rasp them down.
