Is there a way to move the graft which placed in nose tip back to the right place without surgery? Specific massage or tapping?

Asked By:explorerr20 in Houston, TX

I got both rhinoplasty and nasal septum deviation 3 months ago. After a month of surgery, I stopped tapping for a month. I had so much swelling and noticed that the tip moved a little to one side. The graft moved to left side. I had a bone big nose with a big cartilage tipe. My surgeon thinks that might another surgery be needed after a year due to movement of the graft at the nose tip The graft is hard and I can feel the gap as I touch my nose. Any specific massage or tapping?
