Asked By:ashmalc in Edinburgh, GB

I had rhinoplasty exactly one month ago, I had a significant dorsal hump before and a large droopy tip, my surgeon done a lot of work he reduced the hump, lifted the tip, shortened the nose and refined the tip and performed external osteotomies so it is hugely different and still extremely swollen however it is bumped over the bridge and this is obvious, it feels quite hard and I wonder if this is just swelling or maybe a callous that will slowly go down or does this look like a permanent bump?
