Asymmetrical Swelling 2 Months Post Op Rhinoplasty?

mkb87
had a rhinoplasty in mexico in mid-July 2012 for the tip and septum in which I was butchered. 2 months later (mid-september) I went to an rhinoplasty expert in Arizona, paid $5000 for an open procedure to insert the columella back into my face and tip reduction. When the cast first came off I loved it, almost 2 months later I feel kind of jilted. I have asymmetrical swelling on the left side profile view(right side is good). Is there anything I can do besides wait? I can't afford another surgery. My left side profile is uneven my nose is still stiff and numb to the touch...it tingles a little when pressure is applied. What can I do to resolve this?
