The hump on your nasal bridge 4.5 months after revision septorhinoplasty may be due to residual swelling, scar tissue formation, or irregular healing of bone or cartilage. The soft areas likely reflect swelling, while the hard areas could be bone or cartilage. Since healing continues for up to a year, it's best to wait and monitor progress. If concerns persist, consult your surgeon for a detailed evaluation and potential treatment options.

According to your photo and description, the hump on your nasal bridge 4.5 months post-revision rhinoplasty could be due to residual swelling, scar tissue, or uneven bone/cartilage healing. The firm area may indicate bony remodeling or graft-related changes. It’s essential to consult your surgeon for a detailed evaluation to determine if this will resolve with time or requires intervention, as full healing can take up to 12 months.
