Needle shave post rhinoplasty swelling time?

July 16, 2022
Asked By:GRT20 in Miami, Florida

I got a rhinoplasty september of 2020 and was very happy with my results. Over time, a bump on the right side of my bridge appeared. I went back to the doctor April of this year and he did a needle shave to reduce the bump. The area did get swollen and there still is a bump there. I’m wondering how long swelling lasts for a needle shave like this. I’m not sure if this bump is the true bump or just swelling. I want to contact my surgeon and see if he can perform another needle shave if needed.
