Elective Rhinoplasty in Near Mess - Manila, Philippines

The original rhinoplasty done in the Philippines was catastrophic. The tip of my nose was red from day 1 after surgery. I suffered from numerous infections 2 months later and was on antibiotics for more than 6 months after that. I had a big abscess on the right upper part of my nose close to my eye which oozed blood and pus. I had 2 surgeries in California to fix the problems. My Plastic Surgeon in Fairfield, CA removed the implant and a month after, he fixed the deep scar caused by the abscess. Luckily, the nose still looks the same even without the implant. I love the result. Big Advice: As much as possible, have your reconstructive/plastic surgeries done in the US by certified Plastic Surgeons. Going to the Philippines to save some money was a terrible mistake.

I had an elective rhinoplasty 2 months ago and everything was working as expected, the swelling has subsided and the new nose was what I had expected. 2 weeks ago I noticed that my nose has started to swell again...about the same time, I was suffering from sinus infection. Since my Plastic Surgeon is from the Philippines,I went to my Primary Care Physician who gave me Keflex and Nasonex. I have been taking Keflex for more than 5 days but I did not start taking the Nasonex yet..I remember my surgeon telling right after surgery that I need to wait before I could take meds with steroids. I have been taking the Keflex but my nose is still swollen. Any advice?
