How Do Doctors Determine if a Nose is Still Swollen After Rhinoplasty? Is the Peeling of Skin on the Tip and Caused by Selling?

josh1992
I am 7 months post revision rhinoplasty operation. I am a male with thicker skin than the average Joe and both of my procedures were "open" procedures. I no longer can visit my doctor after I moved so I was wondering what signs I could look for to see if my nose (specially the tip/supratip) is still swollen. Moreover, the tip of my nose is very oily compared to the rest of my face and the skin on the tip of my nose recently began to peel. What do these two signs mean? Thank you in advance.
