Do I Have Pollybeak Deformity?

Alex_London
Its 1 year and a half since surgery and i am still experiencing fullness and swelling in the tip region especially after drinking alcohol.Seeing my surgeon regularly and a few months ago we tried injections which didn't really help. I'm currently on anti Biotics incase its an infection. My surgeon said he wants to use revision as definet last resort as i could be one of these unlucky slow healers. My pictures of both my right and left side are below and just wondering if its swelling or polly?
