I recently had corrective rhinoplasty to remove a nasal implant

Question:

I recently had corrective rhinoplasty to remove a nasal implant.  It was taken out after 3 years because it was very unnatural looking. It’s been 2 months since the surgery and I still see that my nose appears larger than it was in its original state.  Is it possible that my nose might never revert back to its original state? Would this be caused my scar tissue or swelling (although it doesn’t really feel like it’s still swollen)?

Answer:

It is possible that you are seeing scar tissue under the skin that is making your nose larger or it could be swelling that will resolve. I would have to see you to get a better idea of what the problem is. Steroid injections will likely take care of  either issue.
