Is it possible my nose tip is still swollen? If so, when should the swelling resolve?

Asked By:TheLegend26 in Jackson Township, New Jersey

My nose tip is more bulbous than it should be. I had a open rhinoplasty 1 year and 5 months ago. I have thick nasal skin, my nasal bones were broken, and there was tip work. When I massage my nose tip, it looks less bulbous. I picked my nose and I believe that might have increased the scar tissue in my nose tip. Should I have a steroid injected directly into it to decrease the scar tissue there? I found a surgeon who can do that. I hope I didn't move cartilage as I picked pretty early.
