I had a rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago and there is a prominent hump on the bridge of my nose. I was told today at my follow up appointment that I should do pressure exercises 10 times today and that it will go away. I am very scared that this is going to be permanent.

Answer: Post Rhinoplasty Evaluation From your posted photo you appear to have a very nice rhinoplasty result at 2 weeks. With or without pressure exercises, you should see further improvement over time. Try not to worry and simply allow yourself an opportunity for full recovery. (Final results may take 6-12 months). Continue with all of your scheduled follow up appointments with your surgeon.

Answer: Residual hump on the nose A residual hump on the nasal dorsum is not uncommon and caused by residual bony spicules that remain following rasping of the nose to lower a hump; this can be easily corrected under local in the office with a small rasping of the residual hump making sure to remove all residual bony spicules (or otherwise you will get the same problem again)! Don't ask me how I know this !!!! Good luck.
