i had a rhinotip done, most healing is done but my tip still feels very firm, i cant really push the tip upward. looks alot better, concerned about the firmness that i now have. I am hoping that it is just still swollen and healing. hoping i can ge some advice.

my nose still gets swollen every morning when i wake up and start to diminish throughout the day but some swelling still remains. could this be scar tissue, and how would i know if it was? how would it feel to touch? could i still be swollen and healing 1 year and 7 months later?

Great review?

I'm 2 years out and still firm in my nose tip as well. I'm asian with thick oily skin, I think that has something to do with the substantial swelling and slow healing I went through. I've heard it can take up to 3 years from some docs, but a lot of docs say whatever's there after a year is there so who knows. Best to be safe and wait it out before doing anything drastic.
