I had Rhinoplasty a month ago, and there is still a bump, it's just not as prominent. It feels bony and pretty dense. I'm guessing my surgeon never got rid of it all. I did a bit of studying on this issue, and had read in some forums that this could be hard swelling. But when I say this is hard, I mean hard, like bone. I think my surgeon is lying and that he did a poor job at removing my nasal hump. Any opinions on this?
Answer: Nose reshaping goes on for a very long time At one month you are still healing....In most males conservative hump removal in the norm because you would not want to have a slope in your nose that would appear more feminine. As time goes by the bridge will subside unless there is an abnormal accumulation of scar tissue. Be patient but do ask your surgeon how low he brought the bridge to. You may have wanted it lower than he was thinking.

Answer: It is too soon to say. Though the area may feel like bone, it may or may not be. A month is to soon to say what is going on. See your original surgeon and discuss your concerns. Ask him what the plan will be is 6 months if the bump is still there.

Answer: Hump after rhinoplasty Sometimes there are some residual bumps along the nasal dorsum after a properly performed rhinoplasty. These could be due to swelling, the way the bone is healing or some soft tissue in the area. It is always best to wait several months after a rhinoplasty to allow for proper healing and let the tissues settle down. The majority of the time these disappear and nothing needs to be done. In the case that the bony hump wasn't completely removed then this can be filed down quite easily under some local anaesthesia by your surgeon. Good luck.
