There is a bump on one side of my nose after an osteotomy & now under pressure I feel/hear a clicking sound. Suggestion? (photo)

After injury or surgery to the nose, it can become REALLY swollen, and this swelling can take a LONG TIME to resolve (up to 1-2 years to fully resolve). Without having personally been in the operating room during your surgery, it is hard to say exactly what is going on in your case. What you're experiencing could be the result of the graft(s) used, the technique of the osteotomies, scarring, swelling, a resorbing clot, your nasal anatomy, or a combination of the above. The picture unfortunately does not provide much useful information. Also, after rhinoplasty surgery, if there is is a desire or need to perform a revision surgery, typically this is not done until at least 1 year later, to allow the inflammation and swelling to resolve. I would recommend not putting pressure on your nose, as this could distort things before your nose has fully healed. Additionally, I constantly remind all my rhinoplasty patients how important it is to be patient after rhinoplasty surgery as it can take months or years to see what the final nose will look like. Hope this helps! Best, Dr. Donald Groves Plastic Surgeon
