I'm so depressed at the moment because I decided to get rhinoplasty to remove my bump on the bridge. But my nose still looks the same and on top of that there is a bump on my left side. I can feel it and it's bone! I don't think it's swelling :( people keep asking me if I changed my mind! I get so frustrated because I paid so much money and I was hoping it would boost my confidence since I hated my big nose.I got my surgery on December 12,13. I don't have the money to go through revision.

I agree that it does take several months for swelling to improve after nasal surgery. The bump may be from an unaffected nasal bone pyramid which is more apparent now after some healing has taken place from septoplasty. I would speak with your surgeon about your concerns.
Gore-Tex in an isolated nasal dorsum augmentation may work well short and long term.
However, if it does get infected it does need to be removed. One would have to
wait at least 6 months before considering a replacement with autologous tissue
or even augmentation with a hyaluronic acid filler....
