I had a rhinoplasty done in March with concerns of bulbous tip and cleft in tip. I do have an area that seems to have excess tissue on one side. At my 6 month follow up the surgeon said he’d remove it with an in-office procedure at the year mark if still there.

What could’ve gone wrong to still have this?
