Asked By:samantha.g in Florida, FL

2 weeks out from my Rhinoplasty & am experiencing swelling. My nose is bigger than it was prior to surgery. Had am allergic reaction to adhesive that req'd a 5 day cycle of steroids. My PS has been doing "massaging", painful squeezing requiring numbing injection, for 3 days & got a collagenase injection to reform the tip. It went right back after a few hours. Will it work? I have "thick skin" top it off with a history of keloid scarring.
