t’s been 8 months since my rhinoplasty and I can notice 2 bumps in half profile. Upper one is hard and bony, so I don’t expect it to go away, whereas lower one is neither too hard, nor too soft. It becomes more apparent at the end of the day when the swelling goes down. My surgeon told me to wait a little longer, but I am still worried. Can a gentle massage of the area have a positive effect? Thanks in advance!

Hi! Excellent question. yes you can have a rhinoplasty but with all surgeries you will need to have medical clearance to make sure you are safe for anesthesia. Best of luck, Dr. Ghazizadeh.
All of your swelling should dissipate approximately 30 days after your accident. If you still have a crooked nasal appearance at that time, you may consider visiting your rhinoplasty specialist for evaluation and management. Wishing you all moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
Sometimes people can have a wide nasal appearance from excessive oil glands on the nose. Sometimes patience such as this may benefit from treatments with isotretinoin. This medication is commonly prescribed by a dermatologist than an examination would be necessary. I hope this helps. Sincerely,...
