I'm so unhappy. My bridge is not narrow and straight, it seems to bend outwards like 2 brackets. It's rock hard like bone so I don't think it's swelling. I didn't have this before.

Answer: I am 2 months post op. My bridge is the same width if not wider than my tip. What could be causing this? Schedule a meeting with your surgeon to address your concerns. It appears he did not do osteotomy (breaking of the bones). Breaking the bones after removing the hump is to narrow the nose where the hump was removed. If an osteotomy wasn't done, it may have to be done to correct the problem you are having. The only way for online consultants to determine this is by reviewing your operative report.

Answer: Go see your doctor Surgical swelling takes about six months to go away. But you'd best go see your doctor, discuss your concerns and find out what was done at surgery. If the nasal bones are wide, they are usually cut during the procedure (osteotomies), the bones pinched into their desired location and held there with a cast or splint for a week. It's possible an osteotomy was not done, the bones were not pinched enough, or the cast came off too soon and the bones spread......only your surgeon will know the answers.
