Small dorsal hump. Will this hard bump go away with time? (Photo)

Question

In two weeks I'll be 3 months post op. I have a hard like bump in my dorsal and a what feels like a bone sticking out a bit not sure. Was wondering if this is something that goes away with time or if it will remain. And if so what can be done about it? Thanks!

It appears to be a residual hump after a rhinoplasty.  You can give a few more months specially if swelling is still present.  A rasping procedure to reduce this residual bony/cartilaginous hump would be indicated if it does not improve.

Thank you for your question. Having a bump on the nose after rhinoplasty is a very common finding. It is usually a result of some residual swelling or a small spicule of bone left behind. I would recommend seeing your surgeon for resolution of the symptoms. I hope that this helps.

Whether your persistent mid bridge bump will resolve on its own may require an examination. If it persists, a few drops of filler maybe considered. We my prefer Silikon-1000 for a permanent result. Thank you.

Sorry but you need revision rhinoplasty for more hump removal. Seek in person examinations from your original surgeon or seek in person second opinions.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
