I had rhinoplasty done in december 2020 to make my nose look smaller and straight. One side of my nose is still swollen. It feels & sounds like there is fluid under the skin on the swollen side (left side of my nose, right side in pics) when I press on it. The left side (right side in pics) looks more defined, which you can see in the photos where I've sucked in my nose. The swollen side almost doesn't move when I suck it in. What can be done to fix this? Do I need to wait more?
