What is coming out of my nose following rhinoplasty 5 years ago? (Photo)

Kgw1234
I had a rhinoplasty performed in 2017. Since then, I have had white tissue growing out of a spot in my nose (I’m guessing where the surgeon made incision). I usually pull it off at this point (see picture) because it looks like a booger if I don't, but it always grows back. Any clue what it could be?
