I've read that post rhinoplasty if a bump remains it can be rasped in office. I have what my surgeon said is a cartilage bump that remains and that it can be removed in office. Is this a common procedure? I have only heard of rasping for bone
Answer: Nasal Cartilaginous bumps In rhinoplasty terms we call these 'bossae'. Over time as all scar matures inside the nose the cartilages can shift and curve to form a ball or protrusion. These can be removed in the office just like rasping the bony bump. In fact sometimes when a dorsal bump is rasped down, its cartilaginous portion is shaved down as well.

Answer: Please consider asking your question with photographs. In general, we do not perform any rhinoplasty procedures, even bone or cartilage removal, in the office. The inside of the nose is sensitive, and procedures to tweak a previous rhinoplasty need to be performed with Precision. In that regard, tweak revision rhinoplasty is a typically performed performed in the operating room with general anesthetic, even if they're short procedures. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Hump If after surgery a residual hump remains we can rasp it as well as you mention (when its bone), but when we use cartilage grafts in some patients this may cause persistent edema/inflammation

Answer: Dr Paweł Szychta Yes, it's not uncommon for minor cartilage bumps to remain after rhinoplasty. While rasping is typically used to smooth out bone irregularities, cartilage imperfections can often be addressed with a minor in-office procedure. Your surgeon can trim or reshape the cartilage using specialized instruments under local anesthesia. This approach is less invasive than a full surgical revision and usually involves minimal downtime.
