Will my nose tip ever feel “squishy” again as it did pre-op? I had closed rhinoplasty 2 months ago.

Asked By:Cici100 in Los Angeles, CA

I understand I am still swollen which contributed to a hard nose tip. But I’m curious if my nose will ever feel like a natural nose again. In my operative report it states: to support the tip 2cm x 1 cm strut graft was placed between the medial crura and the cadual septum using sutures. Does this mean that my tip will always feel somewhat hard/stiff? Or will I be able to squish it down as you can squish down a natural nose?
