Is it normal to have a bump in the bridge of my nose and scoop/dip above the tip after Rhinoplasty? (photos)

Asked By:Noel15 in Illinois, IL

I recently underwent a primary rhinoplasty and am currently 9 days post-op. I know I am in the early stages of recovery, but I am worried about the bump in the bridge of my nose and the scoop/dip above the tip. They both have been present since I had my cast removed 3 days ago. Is this normal? Is this something that will straighten out over time or will it have to be surgically corrected?
