Why is nose suddenly swollen 3 years after rhinoplasty? Tape does help (Photo)

July 12, 2024
Asked By:Zach1990 in Shelby Township, Michigan

Hello, I got rhinoplasty 3 years ago, I HAD the nose I wanted for a year. It did always fluctuate. Some days it looked SO SMALL! My nose is thick & oily. recently it has become extremely swollen during flares (salty food & heat). It just rests permanently at a swollen state. Taping fixes it temporarily. Why is this happening? How can I achieve my old results & latch the skin tighter on the revised cartilage? Are injections only temporary? what about accutane?I want to avoid revision
