8 months post- op- Bump after rhinoplasty, what could it be?

Bump of bridge after rhinoplasty: A residual bump on the bridge of the nose after rhinoplasty could be one of several things. It might be some residual bone that was not rasped down sufficiently, or some callus formation on the top edge of the rasped bone, or an edge of the upper lateral Cartlidge, a piece of cartilaginous debris left behind, or a portion of a graft that was inserted if you had any graft placed on the dorsum of the nose. Which of these do you have could only be determined by an in person examination along with review of the operative report. You should see your own surgeon and ask him since he knows firsthand what was done.

Generally there is an anatomical bump at the junction of the nasal bridge bone and cartilage. It may be that the initial swelling was hiding the bony/cartilaginous bump. If the bump persists, it might require further reduction of the bone/cartilage to lower the bump. Hope this helps
