What could have caused calluses to form over 2 years after my rhinoplasty? (photos)

October 19, 2024

I am 2.5 years post op. I only wanted the bottom half of my nose slimmed slightly and my tip lifted, however my nose now clearly dips, is much too small, and I've developed bony calluses near the top of my nose bridge. I did not have a good experience with my surgeon. What are my options now? And is it possible to form calluses like this when my nose was supposedly not broken? I did not want my bridge touched at all. I can tell my nose is still healing as it's swollen and tender.
