Asked By:Natshan

Hi doctors, I really appreciate this site being available for those in similar situations to myself. Please could you help in any way... I am 8 months post-op.. I had a nasal tip reduction under local aneseathetic and I am still terribly swollen. I had visited my surgeon after 1 week / 1 month / 3 months / 7 months. He is convinced my swelling will go down by May when I hit my 12 months mark, I am somewhat unconvinced and I have asked for steroid injections, to which he has refused. help!!
