What causes scar tissue formation after a rhinoplasty?

February 14, 2016
Asked By:96District in Los Angeles, CA

I had a rhinoplasty 7 months ago. I currently am still experiencing swelling (as expected). I was curious, however, as to what influences the development of Scar Tissue in the nose after a rhinoplasty? I play club basketball and get bumped in my nose every rare occasion. Would these types of bumps cause internal scarring? Is scarring purely uncontrollable and a case by case scenario? Thanks,
