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?

Answer: Post-Operative Swelling Post-operative nasal swelling can be one of the most frustrating things for both the patient, as well as the surgeon. At 1 month, this is quite early in the postoperative course - and it can take several months up to 1 year to resolve completely. Relay your concerns to your plastic surgeon and they will appropriately provide you with the next course of action as necessary. Best wishes!

Answer: Swelling over dorsum At one month postop, you still have a considerable amount of swelling throughout the nose that will continue to go down in the coming weeks to months. If a large dorsal hump was removed, this can sometimes take months for the nasal skin envelope to contract and heal over the new profile. It is imperative that you follow up routinely with your rhinoplasty surgeon while you are healing so they can monitor your nose for any changes and address any concerns along the way. Good luck.
