Bump from 4 months post-rhinoplasty, now 10 months - thoughts? (Photos)

Question

I've had a bump on my nose since being 4 ish months post op. I am now 10 months and it has only become more prominent. Ive had steroid injections and planing with a needle. The doc mentioned a revision surgery and making an incision on the bridge of the nose to reduce the hump but I'm worried about the scar that may produce. I've also heard about filler to even out the bridge but I don't want it to project any further. Thoughts? 1 pic is 1 month post op , 2 pic is 10 months. Thanks!

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photos After 6 months, the remaining bumps is permanently monitored, we never recommend nose filling, I recommend revision rhinoplasty as the permanent and most reliable method.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

A small bony callous can form after rhinoplasty. It is very easy to shave it down with a small procedure in the office under a local anesthesia. Steroids or needles won't help. It's not an uncommon thing, but you definitely do not want to make an incision over the bridge of the nose. Find a highly experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to help.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, at 10 months postop, this will likely not resolve and can actually get worse with time. If you undergo a Revision, Definitely do not do this through an incision on the dorsum. That is never going to heal well nor is it going to fix the problem and will make it much worse. You may want to consider seeking secondary consultations.   I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 nasal injections may be considered to permanently camouflage the small bump on the bridge of your nose. This is easy to camouflage and, depending on your examination, revision surgery may not be necessary. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

The small bump that is present is usually a combination of both bone and cartilage which can be shaved down under local or general anesthesia. Just depends on the patient's tolerance for  the process. We would recommend placement of the incision on the inside of the nostrils, not externally
