Will I need a revision? Bump formed (Photo)

Question

I had primary rhinoplasty 6 weeks ago (I know, recent) for a long, overprotected nose. My areas of concern was the 3/4 view and top as well as top 3/4 view more even than my profile. I *never* had a bump or hump at least that was ever visible. About a week after cast removal (9 days) I noticed a swollen bump on the bridge of my nose. The bridge and tip are wider. He told me 80% swelling is down by 6 weeks. I know it’s a full year. But I’m SO WORRIED.bump feels hard. The 3/4 view is :(

You may need a secondary rhinoplasty but hopefully it is just some rasping of the dorsum that can be done under oral sedation.  Unless the issue is really bothering you, it is best to wait at least a few months to ensure all swelling is resolved and no other issues need to be corrected in the tip.

Hello! Thank you for your question.It is still very early to make an evaluation for your case. You are only a few weeks post-op, you still have a lot of swelling. You need to wait at least 6 months to start seeing the result. Anyway, if after 1 year you are not happy with your result, it is possible to consider and get a revision rhinoplasty. From the photos you shared it does look like there is a small hump, but still too early to say something for sure.
Best regards!Prof. Dr. Selcuk Inanli
