Small Bony deviation on my right side (Photo)

Thanks Celebrated761962 for your question! It's understandable to worry about a bony deviation after rhinoplasty. Although it may be alluring to think about using natural treatments like massage or pressure, it's crucial to realize that bone is a hard structure that doesn't react well to these kinds of techniques. Sometimes your surgeon may teach you some techniques early after surgery to partially mold the bones favorably.
Usually, surgical revision is used to correct bony abnormalities, particularly those that are visible under specific lighting conditions. This makes it possible for the surgeon to precisely remodel the bone and provide a more beautiful outcome.
Typically, it's recommended to wait at least a year before considering a revision rhinoplasty. This enables full recovery and the reduction of edema.
The precise timing, however, may differ based on your unique situation and the particular problems you're facing. To choose the optimum time for a revision, it is advisable to speak with your surgeon.
Hope this was helpful!

Hi,It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery process.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. To start with, 8 months following your surgery is still too early to be sure regarding the final shape of the nasal bridge. As the swelling decreases over the lateral walls, you may find that the bump that now appears stronger is still there but a lot less noticeable.

If that is the case, a revision is not likely to give you a significant improvement and will also trigger a period of swelling that is problematic because the rest of the nose is not that swollen anymore, making it more visible for several months. Massaging the lateral walls, usually with pressure rather than rubbing, can be an effective way to decrease the swelling.

In general, it is better to apply the pressure for 15 to 20 seconds to give more time for the water to be dislodged from the tissues and returned into the circulation. Most of the swelling is represented by water rather than scar tissue, and the circulation in an area that has been operated on recently is increased for a relatively long period of time as the body produces the repairs.

Ultimately, if around one and a half or even two years from your surgery, there is a contour irregularity that still bothers you, you can always discuss with your surgeon the option of a small revision. At that point, it will be clearer how much of an issue it remains and exactly where it is best to address it.
