I've had a rhinoplasty 7months ago, since I had had 3 steroids injections because of my thick skin. The last injection I got was a month ago exactly. And my nose is still severely swollen and never came back to the shape it took after the first 2 injections where it improved incredibly. Is it normal for swelling to last a month or should I get more injections ?
