Excessive swelling on bridge of nose 8.5 months post-op, will this go? Could I get steroid injections?

Asked By:ameliagreville in England, United Kingdom

I had a rhinoplasty in Turkey in April 2021. I am now 8.5 months post op, and the bridge of my nose is still very wide and swollen. It’s wider than it was before surgery, and I am really unhappy. I know it’s swelling as it’s soft and if I push it down I can see that the bone / Cartilage underneath is not wide. The swelling hasn’t improved at all for months. The tip is also swollen but this is apparently “normal” - why is my bridge so swollen? Will it go? Would steroid injections help?
