I am at the one year mark and my tip is still very swollen. It looks so obvious in pictures from the front and the side. My doc wants to do more surgery NOW. Before he said it may take 18 months but not he wants to do revision after 12 months. he really pisses me off. he never told me about taping, massaging or anti inflammatory supplements, which I am trying now. I hope for the best b/c the jerk already charged me 18,000!!
I feel riped off even though my ins picked up 13k of the tab. I DO have very thick skin on my nose and I see on this thread that is consistent. The nurse told me to take aspirin 3 weeks after surgery to reduce swelling. it started looking so good, great in fact. then the doc told me I should not take anything and my nose blew right back up. I was so confused and upset.
I am still hoping for the best with the swelling and am not wanting to under go surgery again.
