I had hump removal and tip reshape 14 days ago, my cast came off 8 days after surgery and revealed a perfect straight nose bit since then the hated hump seems to be reappearing, I have read a million reviews and know that the response will be that it is too early to tell as swelling etc but I was never told this could happen and after reading some reviews it does look as though this can be a common problem? I'm really down as I was expecting to reveal a new dainty nose but I actually still feel like I have exactly the same problem and paranoia as before. I have been massaging it gently in the hope that it will ease the swelling and make the hump disappear. I had my surgery abroad and my surgeon is away until the end of the 1st week of Jan so I can't even discuss my concerns with him. I'm freaking out slightly!!! I go back to work on Thur and I am actually dreading it!! I don't have any before photos as I wouldn't let anyone take any but these are my afters...

I am sorry to hear about your disappointment with your new nose. My guess is that there is still swelling and it's too early for the final result. I would contact the surgeon when he is back and see what he says. Please update us.

Thank you! Fingers crossed it is swelling I am going to get in touch with him as soon as he is back!! Of course i'll update you.

Im goin through the same hun! But it tends to be if your nose was straight after cast removal then its just excess swelling...my hump was hard and visible from cast removal!
Keep us updated check out my review if you wanna see pics but in general i do think youve just developed some extra swelling or a callous :) good luck hun

Thank you Sammy, I have just read your journey so sorry to hear you had quite a bad experience!! I was really lucky the whole process was pain free don't get me wrong it was awful night 1 and the drippy nose was horrid and the cast uncomfortable but I had a fast recovery it's just the disappointment of the end result I am really trying to be positive and putting it down to swelling but I keep thinking did I do something wrong maybe not eat the right things or went out to soon etc I keep looking in the mirror and obsessing it's driving me mad!! Where the bump is it feels like there is a lot of pressure there and sometimes tingly?? what does that mean?? I have read so many reviews and it is worrying that this is a problem for so many and that it can last for months too!!! What has your surgeon said, why has your hump not been removed completely? I am sorry that you didn't get the result that you hoped for especially after what we went through to achieve it!! I've read that you can have callouses injected to make them go down but of course I will be patient first and hope for the best. I will keep you posted :)

On my cast removal the cast would just not come off and my nose actually cracked numerous times as he tried to remove it so hes unsure whether that may have caused a fracture to move the bones at the moment but im due to see him next week so he can assess it now that my nose is less tender to touch but ill ask him about what can be done with a callous, if you feel pressure i would say its swelling - apparently its a part of the healing process to have excess swelling where the bump was removed especially if your surgeon "rasped" your nose. I completely understand how your feeling and how disapointing it is regardless of whether its swelling or not! You always expect to see a perfect little nose after rhinoplasty :( either way for me its still an improvement i guess ..aha ill tell you what my surgeon says when i see him hopefully we'll both have the results we want in the end!

Hi Sammy! Can't believe it's been 2 yrs!! Unfortunately my bumps got worse &
I have now finally made the decision to have the revision surgery, I'm so
Nervous more than last I think!! Did you go through with it in the end??

Heya just thought youd be interested to know my surgeon has confirmed i need a revision to remove the bump!
February 8, 2014
Hi Sammy, mine too! He has offered to carry it out in 3/4 months time free of charge. I am in two minds whether to go ahead or not, how about you?
February 9, 2014
So its booked for so soon? Everyone on this site seem to say its best to wait a full year bt my surgeon wants to do it at 6 months. Im in two minds too, i feel like im more worried that itl end up worse but iv developed afew more issues since i last seen him so i think regardless of what i want its probably best to get it sorted
February 9, 2014
I haven't booked it yet I'm the same as you not a 100% whether to go through it again, we both know it's not a nice experience but I want my perfect nose!! What problems are you having?
February 9, 2014
I have ridges on my bridge and my bridge is too wide, my septums visible through my nostril (theres a pic on my review) and i still have a hook! Im worried that because theres so many issues and itll be performed at the 6 month mark before everythings healed that i will end up with something worse! I just wish i could see into the future aha i had to take a month off work the first time round so what the hell will the second time roud be! I have days where im ok with my nose and days where i just hate it but im so confused about what to do :/
February 9, 2014
I'm so sorry to hear that Sammy :( and I know exactly how you feel..the good days & the bad! Has your surgeon offered to do the revision for free? I'm dreading the whole thing again & as I travelled abroad the costs & time!! Let me know what you decide :)

My surgeon has offered me revision surgery for free to achieve the curved shape I desire he advised that he stopped where he thought safe before the nose can collapse but after reviewing there is still room to improve I can have the revision in 3/4 months time, I am in 2 minds whether to go ahead or not on one hand I want my perfect nose but I just wish I didn't have to go through it all again?? I'm confused!!

I think it's better to wait a year before a revision. I know you want your perfect nose sooner. But your nose hasn't healed yet to undergo another surgery.
February 15, 2014
My surgeon told me its safe after 6 months, lot's of people have advised the same as you and to be honest I am not in a rush to have the revision, just knowing I can is fine for now and I will allow myself to heal some more.
February 13, 2014
Im the same iv now a small bump i dont think il get revision if if doesnt go away because it is better then before just not prefect like id hoped;(
February 15, 2014
Oh cici I'm sorry to hear that :( I know exactly how you feel!! It seems to be quite common the small bump after hump removal, although I was never aware of it before finding this website! My nose is improved just like yours but I also don't feel that it's changed as it's not the side profile I wanted, I've massaged the hump twice daily but it hasn't improved :( that's why I will take the revision otherwise what was the point I want to be 100% happy, I'm dreading it though, now I know what to expect!! Stay positive :)
February 15, 2014
How long have you had yours done now? Im looking at mine 24hrs a day i hope i didn make it worse cause i kept pressing on it to see if it felt like swelling or bone ... im hoping it goes away when serllimg goes im 10 days post now so it probly wont im just worried it will get bigger thats my fear ... did yours go down at all .. i no i no what you mean my sister and friends are telling me how much better it looks but im like its not prefect i paid for prefect ;(
February 17, 2014
My surgery was 16th Dec so 2 months post op, I did the same for the first 6 wks I was obsessed but I promise you, you do start to accept your new nose & realising how much it has improved even though it's not perfect...I don't think pressing it would of made it worse I kept thinking things I did might of made it worse but it is what it is, I'll be honest with you everyone kept telling me it's swelling but I knew deep down the bump wasn't going to disappear sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I wish someone had been straight up with me! Even tho mine is 85% I want perfect too, have you spoken to your surgeon?
February 18, 2014
Yh i dn think mine is i can feel a tiny little lump like a tiny ball on my bridge thats whTs causing the bump i duno what it is ... yh he said if it doesn go dwn he can do a minor op to fix it after 6 momths and that hel do what he can until im happy so thats good :) are you goin to do revision
February 25, 2014
That's good news then, has he offered to do it for free? My original operation was closed surgery & he confirmed that it will closed surgery again which is good as I believe open surgery is worse, what did you have? Yes I have decided that I am going to have the revision!!
February 25, 2014
yes mine was closed too i didn want open:O ... how is your nose looking is it any better now how long are you post op? .. my bump if i rub it for a few seconds it goes away so fingers crossed its just something that will go away al together if not i too will go for revision as its free and after paying money for the the perfect nose i want it !!!!!im becoming obsessed with mine touching it takin pics of it 24/7 its horrible :(
Hopefully it's still just swelling. Here's what some doctors say about humps "returning" after surgery. If it makes you feel any better, I would NEVER have noticed any bumps on your nose. It looks small and feminine!
