Swelling 3 months post op because of flying?

November 6, 2017
Asked By:xnasnosax in Newark, NJ

I had my surgery almost three months ago and everything was going okay, my nose was getting smaller and the swelling was subsiding. But I took a one hour flight four days ago and my nose swelled up so badly. It’s really swollen and stiff now especially the tip. I also have to take another flight home. Will this affect my nose? What can be done?
