16 months post-op septorhinoplasty and still swollen. Should I be concerned?

Asked By:kitteh2 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Hello, It has been 16 months since my first (and only) open Septo-Rhinoplasty. There was significant tip work completed, and I have had three injections of Kenalog + Fluorouracil in the interim, but I STILL wake up with swelling on my nose which takes an entire day to dissipate. Should I be concerned? It is still sensitive to touch (although, not painful) and still 'feels' like a wound. When do you think the swelling will dissipate? Is this normal to take this such a long time?
