Is this a callus or swelling after revision rhinoplasty? 2 months post op. (photos)

I had a septorhinoplasty in 2015. The rhinoplasty was for the dorsal hump and tip refinement. Then had rasping done fall 2016 to smooth out "calluses". I was still unhappy with the side views and at a recent consultation was told my nasal bones had healed apart and there was a dent towards the tip.

Now it looks like new calluses have formed and I was told to massage.
