There is a scar, a bump, a gap on my septum and my nose has become crooked and bigger than before. Should I be concerned?

Asked By:priyankamane in Mumbai, IN

I had my septorhinoplasty on 16th Dec,2018 and my cast was removed on 1st Jan, 2019. After the surgery I had unexplained high fever for a week. Now after over a month, I can see there is a scar, a bump on my septum and also my nose has become crooked and bigger than before. Should I be concerned or keep my patience?
