I had an open rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago and I still have sever swelling on the bridge of my nose. When I got the splint off it was even more swollen than it is now and still had a bump. I’m just concerned because everyone that I have seen that has had a bump removed did not still have a bump once the splint was removed. Yes, it was very swollen but there was no bump. I’m just wondering if this dump will go away and how long it will take.
