Small Sides Bumps 3 Months After Open Rhinoplasty? (photo)

July 5, 2012
Asked By:NaturalMe

I had open rhino 3 months ago: removal of dorsal hump and tip work. From the profile my nose looks straight but from the 3/4 view you can see an optical effect like I still have a bump (like I said only visible 3/4 such as when i look myself at the mirror). He told me it's just swelling, but it feels hard as bone. I am afraid he didn't shave enough bone. Is it too early to judge or there is a possibility that things will change with time? Also I had alloderm put on the dorsum area. Thank you
