18 months post rhinoplasty and nose still swells / chords in hot weather or after exercise: need honest opinion.

Hello Drs, I am 18 months post open tip rhinoplasty (tip work only). I am happy with the result but my nose continues to be very sensitive to heat (swelling, chording, etc..) My surgeon says my nose looks great and that what I am feeling has nothing to do with the surgery . These fluctuations are creating a lot of anxiety for me. I have made a habit out of icing my nose all the time. Need honest opinion. What is causing this and will this go away in time? I have never had allergies. Thanks. SL
