Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redo

Severe swelling after revision rhinoplasty

Hello. Last April, I had surgery only on my nasal tip using septal cartilage, but people around me kept saying I looked like Pinocchio, so after 1 year I had revision surgery to lower the nasal tip again. It has now been 7 days since surgery, and I got my splint removed today, but my nose is swollen like Pat & Mat? It’s really puffed up ㅜㅜ During my first surgery, it wasn’t this severe. Is swelling usually bad with revision surgery..? Right now, around the nasal alar area? The inside mucous membrane is severely swollen, so I can’t even breathe. Today I went to the hospital and asked whether it might be inflammation or pooled blood, but they only answered that it was just a bit more swollen than usual and that we should keep watching it ㅜㅜ So I also asked them to give me a swelling injection, but they refused.. I really keep thinking maybe I ruined my nose for nothing, and it’s hard ㅜㅜ Were there people who had severe swelling like me.. Or did mine fail..? It’s worse when you see it in person ㅜㅜㅜ
