Bump on nose bridge post Rhinoplasty - can this be fixed by rasping?

I had revision rhinoplasty 6 months ago to fix pinched tip and Hanging Columella. My surgeon used graft to fix the issues. Now I have more concerns. I have a long bridge with a bump that is more obvious from one side. When I smile nose gets a curvy. Nose tip is bulbous . I also have a raised scar tissue inside my nose that is visible. I wonder what could be the reason for dorsal bump. Could it be fixed by rasping? How early is it possible to shave /rasp the bump to create a slight slope? Thanks!

The visible white dot on your nasal tip is likely an edge of your tip cartilage that is visible through your skin. Depending on your examination, a few droplets of Silikon-1000 may be considered for camouflage. Hope this helps you. Dr Joseph

The nose can be lengthened with cartilage grafting but unless your septum is untouched it Woukd be necessary to use Rob cartilage. Revision rhinoplasty is usually more complex than the initial surgery, and so more costly.
