I had a Revision Rhinoplasty 8 months ago on the bridge of my nose. The swelling on the bridge still comes and goes. Sometimes it's so bad that when I squeeze the lower part of the bridge (the cartilage), it seems like it's full of water because it makes a noise. So I squeeze the water out and then when I lie down or after a few minutes, the fluid comes back and makes my nose look swollen (spongy) again.Is this a permanent side effect of the surgery? Will it ever go away? Also, since the spongy part makes my nose look bigger, would it be a bad thing to go through another surgery in a few months to make the structure thinner?
Answer: Swelling after Rhinoplasty This is not a “normal” outcome. It is important to have more information- was any implant placed on the area? Did you have this fluid after your first procedure? When you say you squeeze the water out, to where does it go? To make any further recommendations, see an experienced surgeon- one with experience in both facial plastics as well as otolaryngology.

Answer: Intermittent Swelling after Rhinoplasty Edema after revision rhinoplasty can take up to a year to resolve, and I would presume this may be what you're dealing with. It's usually not something under the skin, but rather the skin itself that is plump.
