Asked By:Imaginative279050 in New York, New York

So I had rhinoplasty a little over a year ago, and I still have alot of on and off swelling. By that I mean some days my nose looks super small and amazing (mainly at evening time) and other times it gets super swollen, thick, and bigger. I have thick skin and I’ve gotten the steroid injections but they didn’t do much to help this issue. I’ve already talked with my surgeon he said swelling can take up to 2 years but it’s just very strange. Should I continue steroid injections or suggestions?
