I had a rhinoplasty in July. Most of the swelling is gone, and a flaw has appeared : I can see a thin and “sharp” piece of bone under my skin. From the side, you can see a small, unnatural looking hump. Anyway, this hump doesn’t really bother me ; I don’t want to have another rhinoplasty because of this. The problem is that in the area of this hump, the skin is white, as if it was compressed and that blood could not pass. Should I be worried? Can I still wear glasses?
