I've recently had a septoplasty and now I have a prominent dorsal hump on my nose. The septoplasty was on the NHS for my breathing issues but now the dorsal hump is really really making me insecure and I cannot possibly afford or want a rhinoplasty to fix an issue which shouldn't have even occured. What can I possibly do for this because it is making me very anxious and insecure. Is it possible that the hump will go down or will it have to be removed? Otherwise my nose is now straighter than before.
