Asymmetry almost 10 years post rhinoplasty. Is a full revision my only option? (Photo)

Asked By:Exciting926634 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
I had rhinoplasty done almost ten years ago, and whilst I love the results overall, I've had two bumps on the left side (my left) of my nose since the start. The one thats kind of on the side of my nostril can be pushed in, and it bounces back up. The one on the tip is a bit firmer, but I wouldnt describe it as hard. Additionally, I think the right side might curve in slightly, but I'm not 100% sure. What are these? Is a full on revision my only option?
