After primary open rhino I developed a bump on the dorsum. Was given steriod & it made an indention. Also the tip didn't look good & was asymmetrical. Now 7 mo. postop closed revision rhino w/alloderm graft on dorsum w/same surgeon. Most of the swelling has gone except I think the septum because it is still tender. It is bulging on the left. Dorsum is bumpy & indents in a V. Surgeon will not see me for 6 more wks. Is this swelling? Will a steriod injection help? Is this botched?
