Fluctuating Rhinoplasty Swelling with Exercise at 9 Months?

RDkid
I am a 26 year old male who had an open rhinoplasty with both bridge and tip work about 9 months ago. Since the surgery my nose has been incredibly prone to swelling in response heat, posture (just lying down makes it swell), and exercise. I stopped exercise for 8 and1/2 months because it would always make the tip of my nose get really swollen. I started working out again, and the tip of my nose gets swollen during and after every work-out. Should I exercise if it causes all this swelling?
