Immediately After Rhinoplasty Surgery I Noticed I Had Torus Palatinus and Torus Mandibularis - What is the Cause?

Asked By:Pamela_Marie

Immediately after I came out of the operating room I noticed I had a huge bump/ulcer on my hard palate(torus palatinus) and days later I started developing in my lower gums-torus mandibularis, its been growing and its painful. Why would those appear after nose surgery? Did the doctor put pressure on my palate or something? Are those toruses only able to remove with surgery?
