Three years after Rhinoplasty

Hi, Three years after rhinoplasty what your probably feeling is a bit of cartilage and scar tissue, definitely not swelling. You may need some more refinement of your tip,which may include tip defatting and/or cartilage grafting. I have a dedicated website for African American Rhinoplasty that explains tip refinement. Best. Dr.S,

Rhinoplasty after 3 years still "swollen".

Rhinoplasty after 3 years still "swollen" is caused by the thickness of the skin and will not change with more time. A revision and thinning of the skin and narrowing of the tip is the only way to treat this. Make sure you see an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon for this.
