8 months post rhinoplasty, what could have caused bump and crooked appearance? Are there options other than a revision? (photo)

Hello,
It appears that there is still minimal residual bony bump. This can be fixed with revision surgery limited to the dorsal of your nose. Another option is to have filler injection around the bump to make it look straighter.

What is the bump on the left side of your bridge? The slight leftward protrusion on the left side of your bridge is your nasal bone. During surgery we in fracture the bones to make the bridge thinner after removing the dorsal hump. This also closes the “open roof“. However in a small percentage of patients one or both bones may drift back outward. If only one bone drifts outward it will make the nose look slightly crooked and your left three-quarter view will look like it has a small dorsal hump. I know of no other remedy for this than surgical revision.

There can still be some swelling and scar tissue in the nose even at 8 months. I would recommend waiting at least 1 year before making a final assessment of the nose and deciding if anything else needs to be done. You have done all the right things so far. You are keeping your surgeon in the loop with your concerns. Your surgeon would know what was done in the operating room and your anatomy better than anyone else. I would recommend being patient for a little while longer and continue with your follow-ups with your surgeon.
