It was been 5 months since I had open-rhino. Overall I'm happy with my nose the nostrils are even the shape is nice and symmetrical the only thing is a small bone that sticks out and can be seen more on one side than the other. It's nothing horribly noticeable but I'd like it fixed. Would like to hear some options that are not open-rhino. Thanks!

Answer: There Are Good Options For Your Bump-But Nothing More May Need to Be Done There are several good options available. Most importantly, I would start by giving things a bit more time. It's only been 5 months since your rhinoplasty and there may very well still be a little swelling present. It's possible that there still is 1 or 2 mm of swelling still present in the area that you are concerned about. This may resolve on its own over the next 5-6 months. Please be patient. If, after waiting, the bump is still there and bothers you enough, options include a small amount of filler used to smooth out the profile, or a very minor procedure done through an incision inside the nose (often this can be done using a local anesthetic in the office) to smooth out the small bump. Most importantly, don't do anything too soon. Be patient. Good luck.

Answer: Unlikely to require an open rhinoplasty You have an excellent result. I would suggest that you discuss your concerns with your rhinoplasty surgeon. He or she may choose to revise this, which more than likely would only require an incision inside the nose to refine the area of concern. Fillers may successfully camouflage this by adding volume around it, but this is a less permanent solution, and I would be less inclined to do so at only 5 months after your initial surgery.
