I had a rhinoplasty 1 year ago (march 2021). At first , I noticed swelling but lately the nose is getting bigger and bigger especially around my tip. I am super scared of what’s coming . Do I need a revision? I am not even. Sure the doc worked on the top of my nose (mostly reduces the side) but it’s been a Year and I wasn’t called for any of the follow ups . Just this month I’m noticing this even more and I know it’s not in my head . What are my options ?
