Yesterday was 1 month post op. had my 1 month dr appointment on Tuesday. He said everything was healing nicely. Nose is still tender at the tip. Still happy with the results. Still see a slight dip between middle of bridge and tip. Hoping it will go down. Dr said it could still be swelling. Overall even if it stayed like this I'm happy with results. Here are some updated pics.

Your nose is already looking great and you are only 2 1/2 weeks post op! Congratulations! I am 7 weeks post op, and I also have a boney bump on the right side of the bridge. When I went to see my surgeon with a sinus infection (due to the interior swelling of the sinuses) at about 4 weeks post op, he wasn't worried about the bump at all. Apparently uneven interior swelling can push on the bones, making them stick out on various places. Maybe your surgeon had to do more work on that side and that's why it's showing more swelling. It's hard to tell at this stage what is permanent and what will go away. Please keep us updated.

Meant to update sooner. So far so good. Most of my bruising is gone. Just a little bruising left under my right eye still. I have been using the arnica cream regularly and I was surprised the bruising is still there. Trying to cover up my bruising with make up but you can still see bruising so I have had to come clean with everyone I've seen so they don't think my husband beats me...lol! Tip of my nose is still rock hard and nose overall is still very tender. My doctor warned me about my nose being a target after surgery and it has been true in that my nose has gotten hit accidentally a few times now by my kids and it hurts bad! Still happy with nose although I do notice a bump on the right bridge of my nose but you can't see it. Also I do notice a slight indentation between the bridge and tip of my nose. Hoping that's just tip swelling and it will go away. I can slight see that indentation. Also still have the dissolvable stitches in the tip of my nose which feel like dried boogers. It has gotten better over time and don't bother me as much now but they are still there. Other than that I go back to the doc on July 30th for 4 week check up.

U look so good! Way better than the imaging! I have that small bump too that you are talking about on the right side. I think it may be a callous from what I have been reading on here. It gets big when my nose swells up but usually doesn't show.

I have that bump, too. You mentioned it can be a callous? Do you know if it's permanent?
