Is This Scar Tissue from the Rhinoplasty?

Sassa88
Hi! I had my rhinoplasty done in Turkey and I'm currently 8 month post-op. The last 2 month I've had problems breathing with my left nostril. I thought it was because of swelling but just realized I got a hard bump inside my left nostril. I'm overall happy with the results except the bump makes my left wing stand out more and it's hard to breath. What's your guess about this bump? Scar tissue, cartilage or even a polyp? Should I wait a few month before contacting a PS? Thank you!
