I had a rhino-septoplasty a week and a half ago and recently got my cast removed. As my nose was quite swollen, I researched and found out that taping the nose can reduce swelling. Last night, I applied quite a lot of pressure when applying the tape as I wanted to make sure it stuck on properly. However, this morning I woke up and have seemed to develop a small bump on my nose! Is this permanent or just swelling from the applied pressure?! Please see before and after photos.

Most rhinoplasty patients do not complain about a lot of pain especially if a nasal packing is not used. Without an examination it would be difficult to pinopoint your problem.
