Can a callous that formed on my bone after rhinoplasty be reduced with a needle shave?

kawaiiloverAug 15, 2023
My surgeon says he doesn't do it but that he has heard that it is a technique used by others. I'm wondering if this even works and if it is in fact a technique used to shave down the bone, or is rasping the only way?
