How long does it take for temporary dorsal hump from trauma to go down?

November 24, 2016
Asked By:lololapola in Balham, GB

I hit my nose hard on a pillar 3 weeks. The pain was quite bad and I went home immediately and slept it off. The next morning it was swollen and red. I noticed there was a small bump on my nose - which is still there I have pressure in my nose - would this be the result of lingering swelling/inflammation? When I press on the bridge of the nose and pull to one side, the bump on the bridge goes down. Its given me some hope but I am slightly sceptical that this is just what happens to any nose.

The sides of my nose deflate and inflate when I breathe in and out. Is this common post rhinoplasty?
Kouros Azar, MD says:

Everyone's nose can do this if they breath in hard enough. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is affecting your breathing. Then, that could be another issue. For now, be patient and kind to yourself as your body recovers. If, at 6 months post op, your breathing is affected then schedule an...
