Will a bump caused by a graft absorb over time? (photo)

Without an in person examination it is impossible to give very accurate advice. In general at three weeks it is very early in the healing phase to know what your nose will look like. In my rhinoplasty surgeries I expect some swelling of the dorsum and it would be better to have it slightly full at two weeks than looking perfect as in time the swelling can go down further and the bridge could end up too low. There are many different types of grafts, both artificial and tissue grafts from the patient. Usually tissue grafts will have some absorption over time, but it is hard to predict without know specifics. Please address your concerns with your surgeon.
Hope this helps-

Dear brokennose2014,I agree with the other surgeons and that it is still too early to tellIt will improve over the next few weeks, just takes a little patienceBest,Nima Shemirani

It takes time for Rhinoplasty to heal.  Can take up to one year after surgery. Revision Rhinoplasty can take longer, depending on what and how much work was done.  It is not uncommon that initially in Rhinoplasty to have a small"bump" of swelling at the rhinion, which is an area of the nose between the bone and the cartilage.  This usually goes down with time.  Speak to your surgeon about this as each case is different.  Occasionally I will have some of my patients exert gentle pressure on that area in order help reduce the swelling faster.
