hi, i had a septoplasty and a rhinoplasty a month ago, i got my septum fixed and i asked to remove a big bump on the bridge of my nose, i am so dissapointed with the results as i see no changes, i know it takes a lot of time for the nose to fully heal and for the swelling to go, but at this point i just feel like my nose it’s not going to change, heres a picture before and after the surgery
Your nasal contour shows improvement. The area of hump removal normally takes months, not weeks, to resolve. The area of prolonged swelling is usually where the bone and cartilage meet (Keystone area). This improves with time. If prominence persists after 6-12 months, then minor revisions can be done.
I absolutely agree with Dr. Glassman. There is a muscle that overlies the hump the has to be lifted up to approach the hump. This muscle remains swollen for months masking the results. Please be patient. Improvement is already visible in your post-op photo.
I see a very nice difference from preop. The hump is gone and the tip elevated with a lot more definition. There is still a little swelling on the dorsum and this usually improves with time but it takes about one year to see the final result. You have a nice result. Let it all heal first. I am sure your doctor told you the same thing.
I think you got an improvement, your profile looks streight, just wait the swelling goes down, proper massage will help.
