Asked By:JenniPenni in New York, New York

I had rhinoplasty 10 months ago. At about 3.5 months post op a hard bump developed on the side of my nose. I have had 2 steroid injections (1 prior to the bump appearing and 1 approx 5 weeks after the bump appeared). It's causing asymmetry. Is this scar tissue and can it be dissolved without another surgery?
