Residual bumps after rhinoplasty. Is this somewhat common? (Photo)

April 23, 2016
Asked By:johnlacker in Los Angeles, CA

I had 2 rhinoplasties and after the second one I feel 2 bumps near middle of nose. I had a large dorsal hump removed. If everything was shaved down perfectly why when I run my fingers down my nose I feel these 2 bumps. They are hard like bone. Is this somewhat common? If you opened my nose up again via an external approach what would it look like. Are they just two bumps? i am getting a third rhinoplasty anyway to fix a columella strut should I address these also? thanks so much docs
