14 months post-op, I have a huge, hard bump on my nose. What could this be? (Photos)

I've asked this question before, but I'm now 14 months post op, so want to revisit. I had a revision septorhinplasty last year. It did not go well. My PS caused a buttonhole, my nose is bigger than ever & I can now barely breathe, however the thing I'm most upset over is the large visible bump next to my buttonhole scar. My PS injected it with steroids a few times, but that did not seem to help. I have a follow-up appointment soon, but want some other thoughts too...what could this bump be?!?

Answer: Tough problem. It seems like it should be scar tissue, but not sure why it's gotten so big.
