Nose is still swollen and numb / firm to the touch 10 months after septorhinoplasty - Should I be concerned?

Powerful3502
I had a functional septorhinoplasty 10 months ago. The procedure included spreader grafts, caudal strut, turbinate reduction and septoplasty. My nose is still swollen around the tip and nostrils and along the left side . My baseline breathing is better, but if can't excercise without it swelling quickly. I'm wondering is what I'm describing normal? My nose also still feels slightly numb and firm to the touch. Thanks very much!
