Nose tissue rupture healing

Forceful513821Oct 19, 2023
I have had a rhinoseptoplasty 2 years ago. 1 year ago I had a facial and the lady pulled the tissue of the nose near the nostrils. Now one year later, my nose is not symmetrical and I have a lot of swelling on that side of the nose. I try to massage the area and it feels better. I cant blow my secretations. My doctor told me that I should wait another year for my nose to heal, but the swelling keeps coming and going. My nose has a bad aroma also.
