Hard bump on side of nose after closed rhinoplasty with osteotomies? (Photos)

Madalynne
I had a closed rhinoplasty with osteotomies about two weeks ago. Immediately after removing the bandage I noticed a bump on the side where my hump used to be. The doctor advised this was most likely swelling but it has not disapated whatsoever since. It is also slightly painful to touch. Is this bone? My other side is also still very swollen, which I think (hope) is causing it to look a bit asymmetrical.
