I had a rhinoplasty almost 4 weeks ago, and just a few days ago I noticed a small bump on the bridge of my nose towards the top. I'm pretty sure it wasn't there to begin with. I am well aware that it takes up to a year for swelling to dissapear and that I am in the very beginning of the healing process. However, this little bump that I can feel is making me crazy and really scared. If this bump doesn't go away, what are the options? Revision rhinoplasty is absolutely not an answer for me.
