1 year and 9 months post op, nose tip is still persistently swollen - will this improve? (photos)

Cathy_Selina
Following open rhinoplasty 21 months ago, my nose tip remains persistently swollen. Surgeon attributes it to my thick skin and slow lymph vessel recovery. Is this typical for open rhinoplasty? Could internal scar tissue contribute? How much longer can I expect improvement before the final result?
