I'm strongly insecure about the profile of my face because of this hump I have. I'm completely fine with it face-on. Can I just get it filed down instead of having the full out surgery performed on it or is it too large to be rasped down? Also, would this procedure be cheaper compared to rhinoplasty that involves breakage of the nose's bones? Are there any risks to it? And I'm aware that more would have to be done to my nose due to the "open roof". Would that be done during the same session?

Thank you for your question. Leaving the cast on 3 weeks post surgery will not affect anything. I would not advise you to remove the cast yourself. Be sure to keep your post operative appointment with your surgeon for your cast removal.
If the hump is caused by temporary swelling, massage will help to accelerate resolution of the hump. You do not mention when you hit the nose but I would expect improvement within several weeks. Otherwise surgery will be necessary. I would use the closed technique - an open procedure is...
The answer is "no," but your overall healing will take at least twelve months in order to gain the overall intended results. Best of Healing to you!
