Why is my nose still swollen 6 months after rhinoplasty?

DiamondDogs1974
I just don't understand why it still swells up...its strange that after 6 months my nose still throbs, is there a reason to be concerned? I just thought that after two months tops it would be completely healed...its just strange to me that it would take a year for a nose to heal after surgery...I thought the body healed much quicker than that.
