Can I Still Have a Hump 3 Months After Rhinoplasty? Or Is It Swelling?

User Avatar

I underwent a closed rhinoplasty about 3 months ago just to file down a small dorsal hump. From one side of my face (right) the hump is not very noticeable, but from the other side (left), it looks bulky and not delicate. It feels somewhat spongy yet firm towards the bottom on the sides, but more bony towards the top. Could this still be post-operative swelling? Or do you think that my surgeon did not file down enough?
