Is it normal to still have a dorsal hump one month post rhinoplasty? (Photos)

April 16, 2018
Asked By:EMS1987

I’m one month post rhinoplasty. My main objective was to completely remove my dorsal hump and have a curved shape. The hump was still present after removal of cast and doctor assures it’s loose skin however one month on it feels bony to touch and taping/massage does not improve the shape. Is it likely that it will improve to meet my expectations of concave profile. Thanks in advanced for advice!
