    Pretty sure steroids only work the first couple of weeks after surgery for 'general' swelling. After that they are used for 'specific' spots where skin is thick. I could be wrong on this. Definitely one year is not enough time for swelling to resolve after open revisionary rhinoplasty. Drink lots and lots of water and relax. I personally also think alcohol and coffee are enemies causing inflammation.
