Asked By:tiffany51

I have had 4 rhinoplastys. I understand that there is an expected longer healing time. However I still have loose skin on my nose. My nose is squidgy and you can move the skin. When I pull the excess skin, from front view you can see a difference in the width. It is wide from front view from the extra skin. Would a skin tightening treatment help, such as radiofrequency? It also still swells up, especially after sleeping. I have found that taping it at night helps with this.Thank you
