Visible Graft After Rhinoplasty

August 12, 2010
Asked By:123anona in US

I had rhinoplasty abt 2 mnths ago &although there is still some swelling, there is a small bump sticking out on middle part of my nose where a cartilage graft was placed. To the touch it feels like edge of cartilage. Can I expect the bump to go down as healing continues(maybe that part is still be extra swollen?) or will a graft that has moved not change much anymore? How soon would you do a revision if graft has moved and leaves a visible bump? I won't see my suregon until 3 months post op.
