I had a rhinoplasty 4 weeks ago. I had the bump removed. At first it was lovely. Now on the right side I have slowly noticed part of the bump coming back. This is NOT swelling.It is hard like bone and feels like the old bump. It is getting bigger and more noticable everyday. My doc said it may be a bone spur but he has to wait 6 moths to do anything about it. My question is, is this going to keep getting bigger and bigger I am so scared I am going to look deformed on one side.It is very visable
Answer: Rhinoplasty Dear stupidsexyflandersThanks for the question. It’s very rare to see removed hump comeback but for some cases still it’s possible to see %10-12 remove hump growing back. I advice to consult your doctor. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Part of my Bum Returning It is possible to have callous formation in the bone and sometimes this can be shaved down in the office. I know you may feel anxious about this, but I agree with your surgeon that you should wait 6 months before you do anything because your nose is still healing/changing.

Answer: Hump after rhinoplasty
Your problem is not unusual. What you are expriencing may be due to callus formation at the site of bone removal to reduce the hump. If your surgeon used an ostetome and removed the hump with minimal trauma there is less callus but if a coarse rasp is used there maybe more trauma eliciting tissue reaction forming more callus that feels like bone. However it will resolve spontaniously in 3-6months by bone remodelling process. So be patient for six months and see what happens.

Answer: Revisional Rhinoplasty For Residual Dorsal Irregularity
Dorsal humps/bumps do not return after rhinoplasty, they merely reveal themselves after the swelling begins to subside. Because of the swelling and the temporary shaping effect of the splint, the smoothness of the dorsal ridge or line can initially look quite good and regular. But as the swelling subsides and the skin begins to show the definition of the underlying bone and cartilage framework, small irregularities or residual bump areas will begin to appear. This is especially true in the nasal bridge area. Often it is just an edge or small area that can easily escape being detected during the procedure as the hump was being reduced. It is important to allow all the swelling to go away before doing a minor revision to smooth out this area.

Answer: Bump
It's too early to tell if you have swelling or residual bone even if it feels very hard. Be patient and wait at least six months. If you do have to have some additional smoothing it's better to wait and let the full extent declare itself. If you do something to soon you may end up with the same problem over again.
