Shaving Bump on Bridge with Needle - Is This a Good Idea?

There is very little downside to doing this technique. It usually works for small irregularities after surgery. If the bump is large,  then it probably won't take care of the problem. There's really no issue related to skin damage. It would be like developing a scar after giving blood. It just doesn't typically happen

Hi 4510anon in milltown nj,

As other plastic surgeons and rhinoplasty specialists stated, needle shaving of small nasal bumps and irregularities is appropriate for select patients. This nonsurgical procedure is performed in the office via local anesthesia. Only minor irregularities may be improved, and a revision rhinoplasty procedure may still be required for optimal results. However, a couple months is still very early after rhinoplasty, & the nose may still improve greatly without any other procedure.

Only after a comprehensive evaluation by a specialist can he/she help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.
