Pressed too hard taping nose after rhino-septoplasty and developed a bump! Is this permanent? (photos)

lune1996Jul 9, 2014
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.

I would heal fully from the buttock augmentation prior to undergoing any other procedures.  Several days is too soon, consider at least 4-6 weeks at the earliest.

In general, a rhinoplasty will not make the face appear slimmer. This can be accomplished with:1) Buccal fat removal (if there is excess fat in the cheek area)2) Botox for the masseter muscle (a temporary fix)A rhinoplasty can bring one's facial features into balance, but will not affect the...
