Asked By:lyixlyix in Toronto, ON

I had my rhinoplasty 1 and half years ago, I have so much scar tissue surrounding the tip area my nose looks bulbous and puffy. I showed my surgeon and he said worst case scenario he will perform a surgery to remove it, however he said it might not be gone permanently and it might come back, is this true? Please someone help, Im so confused .
