It has been 2 years since my first rhinoplasty, all was well except from my bridge bone/dorsal hump is bigger then before. Its rock hard bumpy and boney. My surgeon said its callus and can be filled down in revision. My question, if I get this revision will the same callus problem return? My surgeon said he can not say for sure if it will or not. Anyway can be prevented or why this happened?
