I had rhinoplasty overseas in Serbia and I am 17 days post op. What are the hard bumps on the side of my nose? (Photo)

Question

i had my hump shaved and septum fixed. my tip dropped originally and my surgeon raised it up. i noticed hard bumps on the side of my nose and inbetween my eyes im wondering what these are and when or will they go away? also my septum is still not straight and looks uneven and i am not happy with it being so straight And is there anything i can do about this now? any chances of it dropping? i also feel like my nose is tilting evertime i lean my head side to side?

Thank you very much for enquire.It's too early to make value judgments with only 17 days after a rhinoplasty.Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity.In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months.To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

The best thing to do is go back and communicate with your Serbian Doctor and have him/her explain to you and clarify all of your post-operative concerns. One of the benefits of having a surgery in your home town- is available follow-up care.
