Asked By:JsJ1213 in Washington, District of Columbia

I have unfortunately had to have 4 revision rhinoplasties. It has been a year and a half since my last one and I continue to have intermittent swelling and redness. Is this normal and when should I expect the swelling to completely go away? The swelling goes from my bridge to the tip. I have rib and ear cartilage as well as fascia over the bridge. When it swells it makes my nose appear very wide. The redness and swelling will come and go but there is no common factors behind the cause of it.
