It seems pretty crazy to me that people spend so much money to eradicate a bump on their nose only for it to come back. Is it common for bumps to come back after nose jobs? How is it prevented? Does the shape of a nose job often change for the worst as the swelling goes through changes?

Answer: Rhino recovery bump Thanks for your question!If by "bump" you're referring to the dorsal "hump" that people often have removed, this does not return after surgery. Of course there is post surgical swelling that occurs after surgery but most of my patients can tell the hump is gone the day after surgery by just looking at the splint. I would recommend returning to your surgeon if you still have the hump after surgery but just know that swelling can take 9-12months to completely go away. Hope this helps and God Bless!Dr. Robb

Answer: Is there a way to prevent a bump from coming back after rhinoplasty? The dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage, where they junction together is a growth center for the nose. Bone and cartilage is living tissue in response to surgery by laying down additional cells.
