Had septorhinoplasty & turbinate removal 15 weeks ago. dr, says i still have swelling( hence dorsal hump & bulbis tip). will taking aspirin daily help?

WatchOutForTheNoNose: This is a difficult question to answer;depends on the cause of the swelling.15 weeks after surgery raises certain questions that your plastic surgeon should be able to answer.Generally,if it's felt there's residual inflammation,it might work to some degree.But if due to micro scarring or some other anatomic cause,probably not.Also what about you? Sleeping flat?Yoga?Boxing? Etc. These are no-no's!
