Will my Nose Hump Go Away 2 Weeks After London Rhinoplasty?

Real humps do not go away. If it is early post-op fullness or swelling and not a hump after rhinoplasty then it can go away with time, but if there is a residual bony hump it is uncommon that it will go away on its own. However, this is one of the more common side effects of secondary rhinoplasty and is the easiest to correct as often it can merely be rasped in the office under local anesthesia at 6-12 months post-op.

Too early to tell if your bump has been removed.  It can take weeks for swelling to dissipate so give it some time for the swelling to resolve.

Do not believe the "bump" on top of nose which consists of bone and cartilage will flatten significantly absent further surgical intervention.  Would consider raising tip slightly to achieve more feminine columella-lip angle if you seek revision.  Your primary surgeon is best qualified to answer these questions however, and he or she is the one to whom they should most appropriately be addressed.

Hi Tancarin,
Your surgeon is the best person to speak with regarding your hump concerns. It appears as if the very top of your nose is shallow. It is best to wait at least 6 months after Rhinoplasty to re-access the nose, and revision surgeries are not recommended for at least 6 to 12 months after the original surgery.
After 4 to 6 weeks, if the hump still bothers you, you can speak to your surgeon about the benefits of having temporary filler placed to fill that shallow area (the so called non-surgical nose job) at the top of your nose to camouflage the hump.
Be patient and speak with your surgeon. Good luck and be well.

Dear Tancarin,
On patients who have relatively large bumps, swelling in the skin over the bump can mimic a remnant bump for several weeks even though the underlying bump is actually gone. Sometimes the bump was not removed as much you thought it would have been. An exam by your surgeon can differentiate between the two. As it takes about a year for a nose to settle down, you have plenty of time to see improvements and should not be so worried at this point. Good luck.
