Cracking/Crunchy Noise Post Rhinoplasty

It is very unlikely that you did any harm 15 weeks after your rhinoplasty. Check with your surgeon if this continues or you notice any changes in appearance or nasal breathing.

Don't Worry About The Crunchy Noise You Heard

It sure doesn't sound like anything to be concerned about. It may have been a little bit of scar tissue that softened. Without being really aggressive there is almost nothing you can do 15 weeks after a rhinoplasty to injure it. Rest easy.
