What techniques could fix this lumpy bridge? (Photo)

CasssssJul 17, 2022

I had rhinoplasty. I love the tip and I can breathe. But I've been left with a very odd-lumpy bumpy bridge. I didn't have any bumps or lumps showing before the surgery, so somehow in the narrowing of the bridge this has happened. I suppose the bumps were there, but just didn't show before. I feel very self conscious about it. Can this be fixed? And if so? How? By rasping? By adding cartilage back? I do have thin skin. Thanks for advice.

In our experience, nostril asymmetry may be improved by adding volume to the high side for lowering and symmetry. Your candidacy for permanent nostril lowering with Silikon1000 would require an examination. Soft nostril margins tend to lower quite nicely. Cartilage grafted nostril margins may...

Ear cartilage is just not that strong, and it has a lot of curvature in it that makes it only suitable for certain uses in the nose. Unfortunately, there isn't a good way to make it into a flat sheet and laminate it in a way that it can really do what septum or rib can do in situations where to...

Overall, it depends on how much cartilage is needed and where they take it from. Generally speaking, it is usually a small amount taken from the lower ribs, and should not cause issues later. For the most part, it should also repair itself over time. Although I would advise not getting tackled...

Thank you for your question. Most likely, the bump you're feeling is the rib graft, which is used to project the nose and give it support. Typically in these cases the tip will always be more firm, and over time it may soften somewhat. If the firmness is truly bothersome, a graft could be placed...
