Answer: Swelling at the junction of the bony and cartilaginous dorsum of the nose due to swelling can make it appear as though a bump on
I believe you have an inverted V deformity as the bones have not been moved inwards after removing the bump . This will not settle with time and needs surgical adjustment to weaken /break the bones and repair of the upper lateral cartilages
Rhinoplasty, on a healthy person, is often done as an outpatient in an accredited office based facility, Ambulatory Surgery Center or hospital's day-surgery unit.
Hi Bob, Have you had anything done to your nose before? If you had a rhinoplasty that involved osteotomies (breaking the bones) sometimes the mucosa gets caught between the bones and can grow and cause a similar appearance . If you have not then you should see a plastic surgeon to examine your nose.
