Swelling Three Years Post Revision Rhinoplasty?

cabby
Hello Doctors, I had an open revision rhinoplasty approximately three years ago. I am very satisfied with the results; however, I am still taping my nose at night. My surgeon recommended I do this for the first 3 months or so; however, I have continued because, if I do not tape at night, my nose is extremely swollen in the morning and remains that way for most of the day. It looks so much better if I tape it. Isn't this unusual 3 years later?
