Dorsal hump is back after 2 years after rhinoplasty - will I need another surgery to correct this? (photos)

It depends on what this bump is due to. If it is scar tissue, then possibly doing some injections with steroid to this area could help shrink it down. If it is actually due to a residual hump in the bone or cartilage, then unfortunately yes you would need another surgery to try to reduce this. This is not something that should be returning over and over again but likely was either not adequately reduced the first time around but it was hidden because of the swelling.

After a rhinoplasty procedure to remove a dorsal hump, it is generally unlikely for the hump to return, especially if the surgery was performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon. However, the final outcome of any cosmetic surgery can be influenced by various factors, including the natural healing process, tissue changes over time, or even inadequate surgical techniques.

Since your original surgeon has retired, finding a reputable and experienced rhinoplasty specialist for a consultation would be advisable to address your specific concerns.


I hope this helps,
best of luck !
