My nose still swells up and becomes larger, more bulbous if I have too much salt or exercise, although it has been 3 years since my open Rhinoplasty. Why does this happen?

Answer: Fluid shift due to lymphatic drainage Even though it has been three years since an open rhinoplasty, you are experiencing a fluid shift in your nose all due to lymphatic drainage. Fluid tends to follow the salt, and if you have had a salty meal, the nose will stay more swollen for a period of time. Exercise can also exacerbate this problem.

Answer: Swelling post rhinoplasty While it is commone during the first year to get swelling from high salt diets and exercise, it is uncommon at 3 years. Perhaps go see your doctor for follow-up.
