Hard, uneven lumps & bumps high on bridge of nose & dorsum. Is this a normal and expected result of a rhinoplasty? (photos)

April 2, 2014
Asked By:SF Marathon Mom

I had a closed rhinoplasty 3 years ago. Although I am happy for the most part, I do notice some unevenness of the profile of the nose. There are a few bony bumps and lumps high on the bridge of my nose. I also have a noticeable, large lump on the mid section of my nose.  I have moved across country, and am I nervous to have my nose looked at or operated. Should I leave this alone?
