8 months post op of Rhinoplasty, my nose has now reverted back to its old shape. Do I need a revision?

Asked By:Nose8291 in Australia, AU

I was told i had thick skin so i would swell a lot,but even my breathing has been severely affected. I saw an ENT and he told me that the shape the previous surgeon attempted to do wasn't properly supported and thats why the shape dropped back to what it was previously. He also told me i needed revision surgery to fix this. I am unsure if my nose is just swollen from my thick skin or that i really should opt for a revision surgery at around the 11 month mark.
