Removing a callus/bony bump from the bridge of the nose.

Hello, Thanks for your question. If you need a revision rasping of this same area, it may help to add some low dose steroid wash into the area to slow down some of the healing. The hope is that reduced inflammation from using the steroids, reduces the drive to lay down more callous. Speak with your surgeon about this. Additionally, serial taping of the bridge and manual massage may help. Good luck, Dr. Shah

rhinoplasty revision for residual bump? It is unlikely that this will recur with another filing. Your surgeon did not want you to have a dip where the bump was and that is why he filed down the bump as he did. Im sure he will be more aggressive since you form scar more than the average.

If you have a small calluses, a minor rasping might be beneficial. Best of luck with your decision to have it revised.

Mild  bumps or irregularities may be perceived after he rhinoplasty especially if you have thin skin.   However  the whole bump should not reappear.  When that happens my concern is that  possibly not enough was removed in the first place.  My recommendation is to seek another consultation by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.  If the previous procedures were done using a closed technique then an open technique should be used to completely  visualize the anatomy and addressed problem directly.  If you have thin skin the bone and cartilage should be covered with a blanket of temporal fascia that will help smooth the contours and minimize contour deformities that you can see or feel.

andyzworld,

Schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon.  Occasionally a callus can return, and it would take a short revisionary surgery to rasp it down again.   In addition, you may benefit by taping your nose postoperatively.  Good luck.
