The bridge of your nose is like an "A-Frame" roof top, and removing the bump may lead to widening, also called an "open roof". A month postoperative may be too soon to evaluate your nasal width.

Osteotomies (controlled cuts or fractures of the nasal bones) are routinely performed after hump removal to close the "open roof" created when a hump is removed. Imagine your nose is a house with a triangular roof. If a portion of the roof is removed, you will now have a square or flat roof. The "walls" of the nose need to be brought in to recreate the normal anatomy and narrow the nose. Flat spots or a poorly defined nose can result without this critical step.
You are still very swollen and you have to give it time to heal. Be patient with the results,. Good luck.
