Asked By:emilyrhi in Abbeyville, Colorado

I am an 18-year-old Caucasian woman and had open rhinoplasty to lift my tip 10 months ago. I have thick sebaceous skin. My concern is that 10 months PO, the nose still changes appearance, looking fairly decent on rare occasions (image 1), but mostly resembling my old nose (image 2). In the past 2 weeks, after a kenalog shot, the squishy bump relocated itself on the lower part of the dorsum. Is this a normal occurrence in your experience?
