Graft is showing six months after rhinoplasty. Is it fixable? (Photo)

lildebJul 8, 2014
Closed rhino in 2012 for bulbous tip, 6 months later, a lump is protruding. PS said I added a graph, don't worry, you cant really see it. what? Basically he didn't want to deal with it. so I go to a PS at Cleveland Clinic who rebuilds noses, from bad car accidents/birth defects. I put my faith in him(8) hour surgery). 6 months later the graph shows up, added to that my nose looks crooked, and flat. PS said,I'm moving to Canada, next week, Ill just add filler to the other side,is this fixable?
