Tori once removed are coming back



About 5 years ago I had a huge tori removed from the roof of my mouth and
from the upper side. The other day I was sucking on a mouth mint and noticed
the roof of my mouth was getting irritated. When I ran my tongue over the
sore spot I was horrified to discover that the once surgically flattened
area is once again, getting a bulge! On further inspection I also noticed
the spot on the upper side is also coming back. I am guessing that I will
need the surgery again within another 2 years. Is this going to become "The
every 7 year chisel surgery"?
