Will More Swelling Go Down After over a Year After Rhinoplasty?

October 5, 2010
Asked By:bulbous tip in Little York, IN

I got rhinoplasty 1 yr and 3 months ago. I had a bulbous tip, and had the bone thinned a bit as well. My tip is still swollen, and one side is more swollen then the other. I also have a little black and blue inside my nose (the bone) Will that go away? I'm a little nervous that my tip won't go down anymore since it's already been this long. Please help with these two questions! :(
