A
allen87Oct 1, 2010

I recently got rhinoplasty (revision) and before, I did not have a hump on my nose. Now it is over 2 weeks and the swelling has gone down and to my fear the hump shows even more!! My doctor told me not to worry that a few steroid shots show do the trick, should I believe him?

I read your posting and reviewed your photo. Your upper bridge is a bit low, and your lower bridge near your tip is a bit high. I think the best approach is to decrease the height of your bridge near your tip, and possibly deproject your tip as well. Get a second opinion from another...
