Excess and loose skin on my nose 1 year and 3 months post op. How can I fix this?

November 28, 2017
Asked By:seraphinaxx0 in Toronto, ON

I had a rhinoplasty 1 year and 3 months ago, I have thick skin and according to my surgeon my hump was reduced, my tip narrowed. Now that my nose has healed the skin on my nose doesnt sit on the underlying framework, I can literally tug on the nasal skin on my tip area and when i press it down it looks so much better as it wraps around the framework. Is this swelling? do I need a revision? Also I experience swelling fluctuation does this mean my nose hasnt healed even though its past a year?
