Tiny Lump Just Above the Tip of Nose After Rhinoplasty

Hi, I had open rhinoplasty 10 days ago, to remove a dorsal hump and lift the tip of my nose abit as my nose was really big in size. The surgery was successful. I had the cast removed today also. When the cast was removed today, i noticed a very tiny bump on the bridge of my nose, literally like 2cm above from the tip. The bridge is pretty much straight, but its just this small bump thats worrying me. What isit? Any advice on this? Please help (I have included a picture)

Bump after rhinoplasty.

It is too soon to say what this is. It is probably swelling, so don't worry. No judgements for 6-12 months--the nose will change.
