My Nasal Bones Have Shifted to One Side After Primary Open Rhinoplasty, is this Easily Fixable?

JohnJacob
Had primary open rhinoplasty 3 months ago. As soon as the splint was removed I noticed a new bump on my right 3/4 profile. If I run my fingers down the sides of my nose it is evident that the nasal bones have shifted to one side, causing the bump. I Contacted my surgeon and was told that it can be fixed with a quick in-office procedure where the bone would be shaved down. However, how does this fix the fact that my nasal bones are shifted/deviated? I'm here to get a second opinion...please help.
