Can owning a dog cause swelling to my nose after open Rhinoplasty?

April 23, 2015
Asked By:awess244 in Los Angeles, CA

For over a month now the top and bottom of the tip of my nose have been slightly swollen (round and thick-feeling). I recently got a puppy and am wondering if there there could be any connection at all? I've had him for about 4 weeks now, however the swelling around my tip started about a week before I got him. I'm just concerned because it has not gone down. I'm about 1 year post op now, and do not have any allergies to animals that I know of. I really appreciate your help!
