4 Weeks Post Open Rhinoplasty - Still Hint of Former Dorsal Hump? (photo)

emma992
I had open rhinoplasty on 28th March to remove the dorsal hump, and refine the tip. I am aware that I have tip swelling which looks similar to before. I am however concerned about the small bump that remains, and i have read some other people's questions that it could be residual hump, or if you are young, your body may try to reform the bone (nearly 21). I bumped my nose on a door a few days ago, but it didn't make my eyes water, bleed or look noticeably different. Could it just be swelling?
