At my one week post off I got my cast off, when I got home I noticed the slightest reminant of the bump that used to be on my nose. It is very minor but I wanted the bump to be completely gone. Since it is so soon in the recovery I want to believe it is just swelling and the small bump will go away on it’s own.... what do you think?

Answer: Residual hump after rhinoplasty It is way too early to judge the result. The area of hump reduction typically has more swelling that adjacent areas due to manipulation of that area during hump reduction. A residual small fullness or hump at that site in the early and intermediate postoperative area is not unusual. Make sure you adhere to your surgeon's recommendations and if you have concern, follow-up with him or her. Sometimes taping is performed at night, sometimes compression exercise or gentle massaging can be done. But don't do anything without YOUR surgeon's permission. Best wishes!

Answer: Early Postop Rhinoplasty Bump Thank you for your question. Yes, it is very early and the small bump should go away. Sometime gently massaging the area can help facilitate lessening of the "bump." Please check with your surgeon before starting any massaging of the area. Ultimately, it is your surgeon's decision as to your postop care. Good luck.
