I recently had an open revision rhinoplasty for a bulbous tip as well as a slightly uneven bridge. There were no bones broken, as it was mostly cartilage work. I have thick skin and know that the tip is going to take a considerable amount of time to reduce in swelling. I am getting married in the middle of this October and would really like to have my tip look just right for my big day. I am curious if a prescription, such as prednisone could be used to reduce swelling? What are my options?
