Dorsal Hump Still Slightly There After Rhinoplasty?

Swelling over the nasal dorsum is very common during the first few weeks. Check with you

surgeon, but gentle massage is sometimes reccomended.

I understand you are worried that what you see is not going to get better and want an answer. The best person who can answer your question is the surgeon who did the work. The rest of us have very little information except one view of your nose. I think that you have some swelling, but it is also possible that there is some residual bony hump that could be taken care of if it is still present after a few months. The hump seems to be better anyway, so give it some more time and talk to your surgeon. Good luck.

This is probably the most common question patients ask following rhinoplasty.  Believe it or not it takes a full year or more to see the final results after rhinoplasty because it actually take that long for all the swelling to reside.  It is a good sign that the hump was not there immediately following removal of the splint as this will likely be the case as swelling goes down over the ensuing weeks and months.  Be patient and your results will likely be as desired...RAS
