Swelling either side of nose: I do feel it has got worse. (Photos)

Thank you for your question.  If you are soon after your rhinoplasty the swellings on either side of the nose and be swelling that has occurred around the areas where the nasal bones were cut to allow the nose to be narrowed.  If your surgery has been recent massage of these areas may help reduce the swelling.  However it is important that she check with her plastic surgeon to ask if this treatment has your surgeon's approval.

The swollen appearance on either sides of your nose are due to broad bony vault . This can be corrected by lateral osteotomy. Also, if you have difficulty breathing which is relieved by pulling at the skin on either sides, you will benefit from spreader graft placement. Do consult a plastic surgeon for more detailed analysis.

Unless your rhinoplasty procedure was done within the last couple months you will need a revision to reposition the nasal bones which are wide at the junction with your cheek bones. Osteotomies can be done to decrease the undesirable contour.
