Is a Hard Bump After Rhinoplasty Normal?

KateGray
I had rhinoplasty a week and a half ago to repair my septum, shorten the length of my nose, a bump and shorten the under hang of my nose. I had almost no bruising after surgery but when my cast was taken off three days ago I noticed my nose was horribly swollen in the tip and in my profile. The swelling in the tip has begun to go down but the bump still remains. My nose is still very numb but if I touch the bump area it feels tender to the touch and hard. Is this normal, will it go down?
