Bump 2 Years After Closed Rhinoplasty?

 Filing down a small bump after close rhinoplasty is a minor procedure. Depending upon the size of the bump, osteotomies may or may not need to be performed.  The reason of osteotomies may  need to be performed his to prevent an open roof deformity.

Hi

Perfection may be the goal but not the reality.  Improvement is always what you should hope for and expect.  The nose is not made of plastic or metal or stone.  Edges of previously rasped bone and shaved cartilage will heal and scar tissue always forms and results change with time.  If you have a big improvement achieved already and the new bump is minor then you can just leave it alone because each and every surgery has risk.  There is no risk-free rhinoplasty.  But if your plastic surgeon did a good job and you didnt heal well and a minor touch up is needed then trusting him to do a good job again is reasonable.  Too many patients lose faith too quickly without the proper information that is often fueled by misinformed friends and relatives as well as other plastic surgeons seeking to gain more business.  But if your surgeon truly didnt do a good job the first time then you are certainly correct to hesitate and question your decision to go back to him.  Just understand that even in the best hands there are risks and healing is unpredictable and if it is good enough then leave it alone but if its not good enough then you need to weigh the risks vs rewards of another surgery.  Good luck
