I had a rhinoplasty 18 month ago and my nasal bone is bumped out again. My profile has a wave like shape. Is rasping of the nasal bone enough? Is it a big deal ? Is there a risk id be worse off? How long would the swelling take ?
Answer: Rasping the hump Remember the nasal bones are a hollow tunnel not a solid structure; rasping the sides of that hump may develop a more serious defect. I am of the opinion that it is probably best to move the two bones inward by osteotomy. In addition the next level down, or the cartilaginous vault may be too narrow and require widening. This will require a careful re-examination by your surgeon and perhaps more than one opinion before proceeding.

Answer: Irregular dorsum Correction of your dorsum can be accomplished through simply rasping down the edges of your nasal bones. The skin of the nasal dorsum is very thin which makes this deformity so noticeable.
