One year after rhinoplasty/septoplasty and my nose is undefined. Should I wait it out or have another surgery? (Photo)

Asked By:yoga2003 in Mount Victoria, MD

I had rhinoplasty and septoplasty surgery 13 months ago and I feel, due to having thick skin, the final result of my nose is going to look very round, uneven and even thicker than before. I've had two steriod injections within the last 8 weeks and the swelling only went down on the the top part of my noes. My doctor's advice is to be patient but the results im seeing so far has me feeling anxious. Just wondering if I should wait it out or have another surgery?
