I was given steroid injections 2 years post op for swelling, now I have a bifid tip. Will this go away? (photo)

I had septoplasty 2 years ago to help me breathe and it was hell. There were complications and some medical negligence on their part and once i got home I collapsed and stopped breathing, my dad found me and said I was blue. My nose got infected at least 4-5 times throughout the first year and the swelling persisted. Fast forward to April 2025 and the surgeon said we would go ahead with steroid injections to help with swelling. now were in July and ever since the steroid injections I’ve developed a slight bifid nasal tip. I had this before the surgery as well but after the surgery it was gone, but once I received steroid injections it came back. I’m wondering if this will subside and go away on its own or if revision will be needed? After my first experience with surgery i’m hesitant to go about getting a second one done. Curious to see what people’s opinions are because I don’t know if I want to go back to my surgeon or not. Any insight is greatly appreciated xxx
