4 Months Post-op Rhinoplasty Nose Tip Still Bulbous, Could it Still be Swollen?

November 17, 2011
Asked By:goodnightmoon in Boston,MA

I had a bump shaved as well as bulbous tip refined. I am please with my nose however I find that the tip is still a little bulbous. Does it truly(in all cases) takes a full year for all the residule swelling to dissapate? Could this still be swelling? Is there anything I can do to reduce swelling, massaging? any steroid injections? Also I find that my nose is usually more bulbous in the morning and starts to feel smaller as the day goes on? Is this normal?
