Nose Swells/shines After a Night of Drinking and a Humid Climate - Is This Normal?

Asked By:Sydney3158 in Sydney, 02

I had major rhinoplasty 2y ago. While travelling in asia, the humid climate made my nose more stiff/swell. A night of heavy drinking makes it worse and also long periods in sun. It becomes obvious that a nose job is visible. I suspect its due to poor lymphatic drainage but will stiffness of nose reduce after 2 y post surgery and is there massages that can speed long term reduction in nose stiffness/swelling? I feel my nose is still a tiny bit swollen
