My nose did not "shrink wrap" in my first rhinoplasty. What do I do to keep swelling and scarring to a minimum during revision?

Asked By:Peachtown in New York

I am 28, caucasian and have thin skin. My nose was very sharp before rhino but is round, tough & bulbous now. I want a chance of "shrink wrapping" after my revision. My doctor says saline cant be injected in the tip so I'm wondering how i'll stand a chance against swelling in revision? I'll drink water/sleep upright/abstain from smoke/alcohol but what else can I do? Are there tactics he can try for swelling and scar prone patients? I am so nervous that my nose will be round and undefined again!
