I Am 14 Months After Revision Rhinoplasty. My Nose is Still Very Swollen and Super Cold to the Touch. Will This Ever Go Away?

When the nose swells more it includes throbbing, especially with caffeine. I have tried cayenne pepper supplements (help a bit) and over the last 3 weeks have used nitrobid paste. This helped bring back slight amount of blood flow or warmth. I fear my nose will never stop hurting and will remain ugly from the swelling. Any suggestions? Will having some of the grafting removed due to my nose looking like a wide potato from the front jeopordize the lack of blood flow more? Please help.
