I asked this question few days back but recieved no advice. I noticed two bumps on side and of my bridge where nose meets the eye/cheek. I can't tell if they are firm (bone like) or spongy ( swelling). I am aware this is most likely where my nasal bones were broken but I'm just wondering do those lumps go away as swelling goes away or do they become more prominent/ visible?? I'm still very swollen in upper part but I'm worried my bridge will end up staying this wide and the bump will be visible.

Answer: Understanding Nasal Swelling and Bumps Post-Injury It's common to experience swelling and lumps in the area where the nasal bones were injured, especially after a fracture. Initially, these bumps may feel firm or spongy depending on the degree of swelling and inflammation. As the swelling subsides, many people find that these bumps become less prominent. However, in some cases, residual changes in the bone structure or soft tissue can lead to a more noticeable appearance. It’s essential to give your body time to heal, as the final results can take weeks or even months to stabilize. If you're concerned about the appearance of your nose or if the swelling persists, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice and evaluation.

Answer: Bumps on side of nose bridge where nose meets the cheek after osteotomies may improve with time. Your after photo is dark and does not show a visible bump in the blue area you marked. As you suspect, this may be at the area where your osteotomies were performed. Bony swelling in the area may diminish spontaneously such that the osteotomy may be felt, but not seen. If you develop a visible irregularity in the area over the next 3-6 months, feel free to re-ask your query with better quality photos. Good luck! Dr Joseph

Answer: What am I feeling on the sides of my nose? Sounds like it's pretty early to judge here. It may very well be the break-points of the osteotomies that you are feeling but that may soften and reduce over time if so. Some surgeons will recommend taping and/or massage to the area but you should check with yours. If the bumps are still palpable and visible at 3-4 months, you should feel comfortable discussing with your surgeon to better understand what to expect in terms of further improvement.

Answer: Lumps bumps on side of nose after rhinoplasty how you heal from this point is largely unknown. You will probably be able to feel the bony bumps and maybe even see them but the bone bumps usually remodel to a smaller size over time. You will definitely be less swollen. All you can do is gently squeeze /press the lumps with your fingers to help with the remodeling periodically.... and be patient.
