I got a rhinoplasty done in September 2021, so 9 months ago. I know that swelling can last quite long, but I’m worried this isn’t swelling. There’s this weird bump on the right side of my nose. When I touch it, it tingles and is a bit sensitive, but feels quite hard. I am considering going to my surgeon, but wanted to see what others have to say. I didn’t have this before the rhinoplasty and it makes my nose look crooked. After surgery it was straight aswell
