Will revision rhinoplasty swelling get better over time?

March 5, 2010
Asked By:Lsuevans in shreveport

I had open revision rhinoplasty 11 weeks ago and the sides of my nose are still swollen as well as my nostrils are uneven. Also, when I smile my face looks swollen still and the left side of my nose goes up more than the right. Will this get better over time? I am getting very frustrated.
