Nearly everybody's nose will have palpable asymmetries after rhinoplasty surgery. As long as the bump doesn't show, I would not be concerned that it is going to get any larger and become visible. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question, It would be better consult your surgeon,Also if you can send your photos from side and front profile we can make better evaluate.
It would be better face to face consultation.

Sometimes bone reaction occurs after the rhinoplasty surgery. This situation is more visible especially after the swelling is completely subsided. If it bothers you too much, your surgeon can file the bone and solve the issue. It is a very easy fix. Good luck with everything.
