“Hump Re-appeared After Rhino/septoplasty”

I had an open rhino/septo done 12 days ago and my cast came off 6 days ago. The main reason for the op was to remove a large hump on my bridge, but the surgeon felt it best also to lift the tip by 1 mm (to shorten the projection), and in fact during surgery he had to lift it slightly more because he said the end of my septum was skew so he had to cut a piece off (??)

Anyhow, since my cast has come off, a hump has re-appeared @ the top on my nose! I don't think it's swelling because when I feel it it feels hard, definately like bone. It's not big, and it's not the same sort of hump I had before (my old hump was more like a hook nose whereas this new hump is at the top only & ends to where the tip cartilage starts). But it has gotten bigger since it first appeared, and I am scared it might even get bigger! I have not phoned the surgeon yet as I am trying not to panic, and my next appointment with him is in 8 days time. Most people say it's hardly noticeable, and some say it gives my nose a bit of character as opposed to being dead-straight which can sometimes look fake & like you've had work done.

I am pretty sure that the "bump" is bone & definately not swelling. I think that it may have been caused by my tip dropping a bit since the cast coming off, as I can feel a distinctive "dip/dent" halfway down my nose where the bone ends & the cartilage starts. Do you think that taping your nose up @ night can cause this, if you are maybe taping it too tightly? (e.g. maybe the taping causes the cartilage tip to drop thereby creating the impression of a hump on the bony top?) I only taped it the first 2 nights after the cast came off then stopped because I was scared this was causing the hump).

I am not that happy about it, because although the new small bump is nothing compared to the huge hook-like hump I used to have, the way I see it, if I paid a surgeon to remove the hump, then I don't want it replaced with another one!
