Bump on Bridge of Nose After Rhinoplasty

mel1087
Soon after my rhinoplasty I noticed (through feeling) a small bump on the right side of my bridge. As the weeks go on it appears to be growing in size, I'm assuming this may just appear larger as the swelling goes down. Also, the area below looks dented. However, if I push on this area the bump, while very firm, will temporarily flatten out. It is sore to the touch, and it's just getting worse over time, appearance wise. I've uploaded a photo. My doctor says I have to let things settle.
