Thanks for your question. You have a few positive things going for you here. Swelling over the area of a previous bump and in the tip generally takes the longest to settle. Because you have thick skin, it may take another 6 months or longer before you see the skin fully contract. The sense of fullness should be improving over that time. The fact that your swelling seems to disappear in the morning after taping is a good sign that much of what you are seeing is swelling. You are right…swelling over a previous bump is too high to be called a polly beak, a term that refers to excessive fullness in the area right above the tip. I would have a good discussion with your surgeon before you go ahead with any revision/touch up plans… and you do not need to tape with a lot of pressure. That will not cause the swelling to remain but it can irritate your skin. All the best,
