Asked By:twbw33 in Dearing, Kansas

Hi I had a closed rhino for a Roman nose aug 21. Initially after it was straight now I have a humped bridge again. The doc did say he had to take a lot of bone out and at my 6 month check up he did note how swollen the bridge was (but didn’t touch it) this rounded hump it’s solid so I feel at this stage if it feels like bone it’s probably not swelling. When do you typically know when a revision is inevitable? I’m disheartened for sure as it makes me look worse than before.
