Dorsal Hump Swelling or Callus After Rhinoplasty?

soright
Three months ago, I had a surgery to correct my nose. It is now smaller and narrower in overall size. However, the dorsal hump area is still pronounced. It is no longer as big as before but the dfifference is minimal. My doctor assured me that he had smoothed my dorsal hump down. Is it possible that the swelling hasn't subsided yet? The tip of my nose is still very bulbous. Could I just be a slow healer? Or could it be I have developed a callus? Thank you.
