I am 11 weeks post op. I had a hump removed on bridge, but I still see a small bump. When I touch it it feels squishy. I hope this is just swelling. Any comments. Is this normal after hump removal, I heard 2 sides don't heal at the same rate ( my surgeon's wise words.) :-). I added pics. It's inly noticeable on my left profile.

Answer: Bump on the bridge of the nose Thank you for your question!It is understandable that you are concerned especially with the bump over the bridge of your nose. Changes after rhinoplasties vary with every patient and what you are experiencing is normal especially that swelling takes time to subside as it masks the results of your surgery.With the inability to perform a physical exam and the lack of the before pictures, it is not possible to provide you with a definitive medical answer.It is important to keep in mind that it is early to pass a judgment. Usually, a year is required before formulating how your nose will be. Even then, your nose will keep shaping itself and to complement your face for better results in the years to come.My best recommendations at the moment is to be patient, allow nature to take its course and edema subsides for better results. There is no doubt that once the swelling resolves, more definition and shape will be achieved and you should be happier with the results.Also, it is important that you keep communicating with your surgeon and work as a team together to achieve the best results possible.Congratulations on your surgery and please remain positive!Ali Sajjadian, MD FACS

Answer: 11 weeks post op, I have a bump on bridge after Rhinoplasty. Is this normal? Very hard to be sure you have residual hump tissue and just not swelling. Even in your description you state, "it feels squishy"... This is a sign of swelling. You need t wait for at least 6 month than determine if residual tissue.....BTW good attempt at posting photos, recommend to have one color background next time...
