Dear Doctors, I had a (closed) rhinoplasty 3 months ago, on 8th of September. The healings process was really good, and I was really satisfied with the results of my surgery. The problem is that 1 week ago I discovered I have a small bump on my nose, its not really firm as I can press it and then it looks better. I am really concerned, I heard it might dissolve with time or it can be a bone issue, which leads to revision. Can massage help? Is it permanent? I am really scared. Best regards
