On Wednesday the 22nd I went back to my surgeon...
On Wednesday the 22nd I went back to my surgeon for a 6 month check-up. Overall it went pretty well. He sat me down at started poking at my nose. I was a little stressed about how to address the issue of the bump, so when he brought it up I was relieved. I'd heard horror stories of how some surgeons refuse to admit there is any problem, but that definitely wasn't the case.
He told me it was because I have very thin skin, and on anyone with thicker skin it wouldn't have shown. I asked him about the cost and he said I would just have to pay the one time use items such as needles, medications and all those lovely things. That would amount to about 500$ before tax. Not exactly pocket change, but still less than I was expecting.
The surgery itself will be less invasive (he will only need to cut one side) so it won't take as much of a toll on my body in terms of recovery, but I'll still have to wear that awful cast for a week. I'm starting school again in September, so I'm not really sure when I'll be able to fit the surgery in. It may have to wait until the winter holidays, unless I decide I'm brave enough to wear that cast on my nose around campus. :P
Of course, I'm not thrilled I'll have to go in for a revision, but it happens. I'm just looking forward to having it fixed and out of mind :)
P.S.
Thanks for all the comments and well wishes. I try to keep it brief and to the point in these updates, but if you have any questions please feel free to ask away.

Its been about 3 month since surgery. Everything...
Its been about 3 month since surgery. Everything is pretty much healed and the swelling is gone. I still have a bit of redness under my chin where the incision was. Hopefully that will turn white soon.
I've noticed that there is a bit of a bump on the bridge of my nose now. Its a really sharp bump and its too low to look like a doral hump, so it doesn't look natural at all. It feels like bone. Its visible from the front too. It presses against my skin and makes a white spot.
Do you think I need a revision?

Its 4 days after cast removal. I'm still not sure if I love it. I'm trying not to think about it too much, atleast until most of the swelling is gone. The chin is amazing though, and so fun to stroke. I've finally uploaded some photos. I'd love your honest opinions.
