I had my rhinoplasty done 7 months ago in another country. Everything went great and I’m overall happy but I do have a question. Is there a way to tell if the bump on my nose is swelling? If it’s not swelling I guess that would mean it’s scar tissue or maybe he just didn’t remove all of the bump that I used to have? I don’t really know. Is nasal rasping something that can be done for this sort of issue?

Answer: Nasal bump It could be scar tissue or residual cartilage but either way it is barely noticeable. It is best to leave it alone. Only if it becomes worst over time, should you consider any intervention. I always like to say about rhinoplasties, IMHO 'Quit while you are ahead'. Regards Dr. J

Answer: Dorsal fullness Hello and thank you for your question. At seven months it is very normal to be swollen in the tip. However dorsal irregularities usually get worse with time instead of better. If you end up getting a revision in the future, you should consider having a dorsal fascial onlay graft placed for smoother dorsal contour. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.
