What to do about bump (and dent) on my nose bridge after rhinoplasty? (photos)

March 8, 2017
Asked By:cyrano in Washington, DC

My surgeon is in a different state, and I'm planning to go in a few months--but I'd like some feedback from the pros here! After the swelling went down from my rhinoplasty, I noticed a very small, hard bump on my bridge. What's weird is that it seems to be coming out of a dent. The bump is visible, but the dent is only visible if I pull the skin taut. So when I do something like rub my eye, it's visible. Will the bump go away? Will the dent fill in? Will rasping the bump make the dent worse?
