"Scar Tissue Bump" is It Permanent or Will It Go Away? (photo)

NinaM
I had a rhinoplasty April 16, 2011. A bump has formed on the bridge of my nose. My doctor say's it's scar tissue and it's so noticeable because I'm thin. I got a steroid injection at my last visit, but it didn't seem to help. Will this go away, or is it permanent? You can't see it in a picture taken in May of 2011. When he massages it, it will go down for the rest of the day, and then come back the next day.
