Hello. I had a rhinoplasty a little over a year ago. My nose constantly drips snot when it's cold, when I'm eating, when I'm exercising, when I'm laughing, etc. The only time it doesn't drip is when I'm laying down. When I lay down, my nose also becomes congested. Lastly, I have thick scar tissue growing inside the top of both of my nostrils. Will I have to get another revision to solve these problems? Can the scar tissue that's inside the top of my nostrils (where the scar is) be removed?
