Revision rhinoplasty - should I get a steroid injection or give it more time? (Photos)

Asked By:lucych in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

I'm scared for pollybeak deformity. I am 1 year post Op revision rhinoplasty. Now most of the swelling has gone down, but there’s is still a good amount in my tip. The only reason I know this is because usually when I wake up from sleep, my tip is very bulbous but it subsides throughout the day and after some massages. My nose now does not look like my after photo exactly, I know I can wait for the swelling but I’m just scared if the swelling continues for longer it’ll affect my final results.
