How to accelerate swelling reduction post revision rhinoplasty?

Anonymousgoldfish
I had a Revision Rhinoplasty about a year ago, and expectedly, a lot of swelling remains. I know the swelling will go down more 2-3 years post op, and I know the result looks good based on how it looks when I tape. I currently tape the nose a couple times a week, use salicylic wash, and a 1% topical Retinol cream. Are there any other things/ways I could be doing to accelerate the speed at which I can decrease swelling, or should I just wait? Thanks!
