Disappointing Rhinoplasty - bump are still there and my breathing has gotten worse

Disappointing Rhinoplasty
I had an amazing rhinoplasty experience with Dr Steiger all the way up until my 6 month post-op appointment. I was originally very happy with my results but as my nose began to heal and the swelling started to go down I noticed a few concerns I had with my nose, mainly a bump that formed on the bridge of my nose. I was told by the doctor that the bump was normal and nothing could be done to fix it. I started to bring up more concerns but was told my nose was beautiful and perfectly done and I just needed to adjust. Then I came in a year post-op because some indents had formed on my nose and I was having difficulty breathing out of my nostrils which was not a problem before my surgery. I was again told that everything was fine and I was only suffering from allergies and to just take a nasal spray to help with my breathing and the doctor added filler to the indents but told me that there wasn’t anything wrong with my nose. Both times I went in with concerns I felt like I was being dismissed and gaslighted which is a big contrast to my initial pre-op appointments with Dr Steiger. I’m almost two years post op and the indents and bump are still there and my breathing has gotten worse to the point that I need to use nose strips at night and my nose feels congested 24/7. I am so disappointed as this was a very expensive surgery that I was looking forward to and really loved Dr Steiger and his team but I feel like all of my concerns have been dismissed and I’m left with a lumpy, asymmetrical nose with breathing problems.
