My fat grafted nose now looks disfigured and swollen. Am I a candidate for a Revision Rhinoplasty? (photos)

May 27, 2014
Asked By:

My doc suggested I get AFT around the tip of my nose. He warned me that my nose would be swollen. But now it looks disfigured--crooked, lumpy, and extremely bulbous. It doesn't resemble anything aesthetically pleasing. I would rather have had a small amt. injected and need a touch up later, than be stuck with this swollen atrocity. Is there anything I can do now--like ice or steroid shots? And, am I a candidate for revision rhinoplasty or must I wait 3-6 months for the swelling to go down?
