I had closed rhinoplasty 4mths ago to correct droopy but perfectly straight nose. Surgeon placed strut graft and graft on bridge to fill indentation after tip correction.Now I see small bump on the bridge of nose,about 7-10 mm above the place where graft was supposed to be.When I move skin bump stays in place. Surgeon told me that it is periosteal overgrowth.Is it possible for periosteum to react so strongly and only in one place when no bones were shaved?Can it be misplaced graft?How to fix it?
