I had revision rhinoplasty on 10/5/11 (1st surgery 5/4/10) to correct and refine my tip. I understand my nose is still swollen and it will be swollen for some time. However, I am very concerned that there may be a cartilage problem causing the unevenness and flat spot on my infratip and columella.

I did have one steroid injection after one month.
