Bone on One Side of Nose After Rhinoplasty

RitaMae
I asked my surgeon to remove the hump on the bridge on my nose. It has been fractured to make the bridge narrow and rasped the bump down. One side is perfect but on the other, I can still see and feel a big lumpy bone which looks like it used to before surgery. I called him up and he said give it 6 months as it will be swelling, but I recognize the feeling of bone! Could there be swelling underneath the bone, pushing it up? How come the other side is perfect? What if he didn't rasp enough?
