Bump on nose after rhinoplasty. Is there a technique to correct just the bridge without fully reopening the nose?

April 30, 2024

I am 10 months post op septo-rhinoplasty. Over the past few months I've developed a small bump on the bridge of my nose along with an indent on one side. I've received multiple kenalog injections but it has only made it more prominent. However, I am very happy with the rest of my nose. Is there a technique to correct just the bridge without fully reopening the nose and potentially making things worse?
