Last year I had a open rhinoplasty to reduced the size and straighten my nose. After 3 months, once the swelling had subsided a bump appeared central to the bridge. After meeting with my surgeon a revision date was organised for a closed rhinoplasty 12 months later. I'm now 2 weeks post revision surgery and although the original bump seems to have been taken care of, a new bump on the left side of my bridge has appeared where originally before the op it had been smooth. Thanks in advance.
