I got my rhinoplasty back in 2021 to remove a small bump on the side of my nose. The rhinoplasty was closed with the only thing being fixed the small bump on my nose. 1 year post op my surgeon went back into my nose in office to rasp down a small callous that popped up during recovery.

My surgeon has agreed with me and believe it may be calluses?
