Swelling and redness on the dorsum of my nose. Can you get complications 15 years after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Cheerful433506
I had my rhinoplasty done 15 years ago, and now I am experiencing redness and swelling for the past 2 weeks. After taking steroids and antibiotics, it calmed down, but now it is swelling again. I have a feeling maybe my body is rejecting the implant. I am hoping I have time to find a good doctor for the revision. Any suggestions in the meantime? Should I go for a 2nd round of steroids ? Thank you in advance!
