Swelling: A little swelling can come and go after surgery, especially revision surgery, but if there is any more than just a small amout i would go back and see my doctor. If an implant was used, infection is a possibility and i wouldn't wait too long. Hopefully it is just a small amout and it goes away on its own.

Revision rhinoplasty: Swelling after surgery does not resolve in a linear fashion, but tends to take a more undulating course.

At any time if you have concerns, the best course of action is to follow up with your surgeon.
