Nose changed shape years after - Why did this happen?

Question

Had a rhinoplasty to remove hump 2017. Was happy with normal nose until 2021 where it changed shape with pronounced wings or lumps of the sides which cause a shadow halfway across nose. Why did this happen? No injuries or anything to the nose and too long after procedure to be related to swelling or healing

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

The only difference I can tell in your pictures is that you are contracting muscles of facial expression in one of the pictures. This can change the contour of your nose, the use of your nasal muscle. It would be unusual for patients to experience sudden changes in their nose, contour years after rhinoplasty surgery. I suggest you follow up with the surgeon who did your procedure.
