Dorsal Hump Still Slightly There After Rhinoplasty?

This looks like it is minor enough that it should resolve as the swelling goes down.  Infortunately it is too soon to tell.  If this hump is still there after about 3 months or so..then it may not go down that much more.  Just let your surgeon be aware of this issue for you and he or she can follow this along with you.

Good luck

Dear jsquared in Stuart, FL:

At 8 days after a rhinoplasty the residual dorsal hump you have may certainly be due to swelling. It is not possible to tell from a photograph, but your surgeon should be able to provide more insight. Give it a month, time is on your side. If it is still present at 3 months, it is likely to persist.
