It’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.

Answer: Recovery after Rhinoplasty The nose is made up of several parts; a pair of small bones at the top, a pair of triangular cartilages in the middle, the horse shoe tip cartilages, and supported by the underlying septum. After these structures are reshaped in surgery, swelling occurs for the next 48 hours. Fortunately 80% of the swelling is gone by the end of two weeks for most people, another 10% over the next 2 months. Unfortunately the last 10% may take 12-18 months to resolve. Listen to your surgeon. It is important to give the nose time to heal completely.
