I had a rhinoplasty around 4 weeks ago. A few days ago I thought I was noticing a small bump starting to emerge on the upper bridge of my nose and it seems it is increasing in size. What is this? Is this normal? It feels quite hard when I touch it. It's difficult to contact my surgeon at the moment since he is in another country and its easier to contact him through a translator face to face. By the way, I am taping my nose everyday for 6 weeks as per my doctors instructions.
