I had a rhinoplasty two years ago and my nose appears to be very swollen. Its feels very tight and stiff around the tip of the nose and looks way bigger than it has before. Any suggestions what could cause this or how the issue could be fixed? First photo is before swelling occurred and second is swelling

Answer: Nasal swelling. Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon for someone to have delayed swelling in her nose months or years after their rhinoplasty. I would initially start with a low-salt diet and restart night taping. I developed a device called "Noseperfect" that compresses the nasal tip and works really well in the circumstances. You can purchase it online. If the nose noninvasive techniques do not work, then I would consider a steroid injection to your nasal tip. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Taping overnight Before you have a chance to make follow up visit with your surgeon, you may try to tape the nose overnigt from above the tip towards nose root; 3-4 1/2" tape will do. Hope this helps. Good luck.
