Can swelling persist for more than 2 years after a revision rhinoplasty?

August 14, 2023
Asked By:gingerella1972 in England, United Kingdom

I had 2 rhinoplasty (Feb 2021 and August 2021) and my nose is still swollen 2 years after the second rhinoplasty. In fact, swelling is worse now than it was even 6 weeks after the first surgery. Also bridge of nose feels quite weak and I am concerned it was reduced too much. There are also some callouses at the top of the nose bridge which create deviated appearance (light reflection). What can be done to fix this? I do not want third surgery.
