I have had 2 rhinoplasties in 2 years. The second was a revision. After the first operation to remove hump and reduce width failed as scar tissue built up causing nose the be even wider than it was origionally and the bump to reform giving a beak like shape. It has been 4 months since revision and my nose bump seems to be trying to return as I have to keep rubbing it down to try and straighten it. Is this possible if so is it surgeons fault?
