Nose bigger six months post rhinoplasty
It is common for your nose to have swelling post rhinoplasty, however it usually is not larger then it was prior to surgery in the six month post operative phase. With this said I am unaware of what exactly was done to your nose and what your preoperative and post operative diagnosis was.

Nose Bigger Six Months Post Rhinoplasty
I'm sorry but we don't know what your nose looked like before surgery, what was done during the operation, and what you presently look like.

Six Months Post Rhinoplasty and my Nose Still Looks Bigger than my Old Nose?
Hi,
If you had surgery 6 months ago, unless you have an implant, its doubtful you have an infection at this time. I would advise a second opinion , it may be scar tissue.

Can nose look bigger six months after rhinoplasty
Though we often talk casually about a 'smaller' nose after rhinoplasty the idea can be difficult to translate into just how the nose is to look afterward. It is possible for the nose to look bigger if the bridge needed support or the nose needed length, but to look 'bigger' we feel would have to have been a part of the surgical plan explained to you. We hope you looked at computer silmulations in order to understand your rhinoplasty goals.

6 months post-op
It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing your pictures – you should consider posting images showing different views of your nose. Thicker skinned noses in general need plenty of time to develop their final shape – you may wish to see your surgeon about Kenalog injections
