Asked By:MellyM23 in Kilsby, England, United Kingdom
3 years post and something isnt right,. I had rhinoplasty 3 years ago this March 2023. It was closed and with a good reputed surgeon. I had a "droopy" and "bulbous" tip and have always hated my large nose. I never had proper follow ups due to covid. I have been v patient after being reassured by my surgeon 1.5 years ago but i still have constant pain half way down my nose, there seems to still be swelling on R side and tingling. I dont know what to do and its worrying me now incase things get worse. Im 41.
