I have a hard bump on both sides of my nose. Does not feel like swelling at all. Is this normal? (photo)

I had open rhinoplasty last week. Im 9 days post op & I had my splint & stitches removed 4 days ago. Although I am still swollen, I am very concerned about the way my nose looks so far. It does not look straight & I believe it's because I developed a bump on the side of my nose. The bump was not there before. After my splint removal, my dr pointed out I was very swollen in that area. The swelling has gone down but now it feels like a hard bump. What could this be? I'm freaking out. :(
