Hi, I had a rhinoplasty 3 yrs ago and in which a the tip of the nose was refined by adding a supporting structure. However, I have thick skin and a an injection was required. And now 3 years post op some supratip swelling is seen and I continue to tape the nose at night. Would this final swelling ever resolve on its own?
