3 years postop, lots of bumps and scar tissue, but surgeon says everything looks great

Question

I'm 38, had rhinoplasty +septoplasty exactly 3 years ago with a well renown surgeon in my area who only specializes in nose jobs. After 3 years and 9 steroid shots, my nose is still very crooked due to lots of scar tissue and multiple firm bone-like bumps. My Dr. is saying my nose looks great as the bones are straight, I just have lots of calluses and scar tissue. Can this be true? PS: He is offering free revision to file off bumps, but for scar tissue he suggests to keep doing shots.

To make an assessment regarding the outcome of the plastic surgery procedure we generally need to see a complete set of before and after pictures. If you don’t have before, and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took. We can’t make an assessment based on what you said.
I suggest having a few in person, a second opinion consultations if you’re uncertain about the outcome of your procedure.
Generally, speaking, plastic surgery, results are based on each persons candidacy for the operation combined with the skill and experience of the provider. Both are equally as important.
Best,
