Why are there diagonal lines after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

dainaka
I had a close rhinoplasty about 5 and 1/2 months ago to remove a bum on the upper part of the bridge of my nose. I then started to develop a diagonal line/shadow starting at the middle of my nose. Before surgery I never had these lines and it makes a clear definition from the top part of my nose to the bottom half. From the side these lines are barley noticeable. Will I need revision surgery to make there be a smooth transition?
