Nose pressure, swelling, hurts 3 years after rhinoplasty. Can I get a revision rhinoplasty to fix my problems?

zei
I had a cheap rhinoplasty 3 years ago and ever since I had my surgery, my nose has been in a lot of pain. My nose gets a pressure like its shrinking and i can feel the bones in my nose cracking. IWhile this happens, my nose swells up a lot and gets really red. I have difficulty sleeping because my nose hurts and I also get headaches because of the pressure and pain. It has made me depressed, confused and my life so much worse. One of the more harder part is that it also affects my confidence. My nose looks so different from 1 year and 2 years ago, and I think it is because of all the swelling. I hate how my nose looks now and I do wish to get a revision rhinoplasty to fix the asymmetries. But I am nervous that because of the damage and constant swelling to my nose, that if I do get a revision, it could make my nose hurt even more (if thats even possible) or that the results won`t stay consistent because it is always swelling and getting red. What do you guys think caused the damage to my nose and do you think it is a good idea to get a revision with all of this still happening to my nose, 3 years later? Thank you so much for your answer.
