Swelling Three Years Post Revision Rhinoplasty?

This is highly unusual. It could be a factor related to environmental allergies, thick skin, and/or a complex initial surgery. It's a good idea to see your surgeon to double check that everything is healing properly.

    There is no swelling at this point.  If you want more definition at this point, you will need a revision to likely reduce soft tissue mass, scar, and cartilage if underdone in the previous rhinoplasty.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

In general, you should not have any residual swelling after three years. Are you doing anything else that may cause your nose to swell? And do you have thick skin? Thick skin patients may:

1) Have swelling that lasts longer (but not up to three years)
2) Not always achieve the level of definition they may want

Photos would be necessary to provide you with any advice. I would recommend visiting your surgeon and having an exam, as they may be able to provide you with some insight. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
