I had rhinoplasty 34 days ago. There is a ridge on the right side of my nose but not on the left, formed by a depressed part on right side that the skin sticks firmly to the bone. What should I do? Is there any massage or other way? I`m so worried especially because it is asymmetric.

Irregularities soon after rhinoplasty-treatment options

Time, time, time is your friend! For a rhinoplasty result to reach it's final shape, it may take 6-12 months and the nose WILL change and in most cases WILL improve. Be patient.

Irregularities noted following rhinoplasty

Thirty four days is very early in the healing process for a rhinoplasty so be patient as full healing can take up to a year or more. You should contact your surgeon with your questions so as to better understand your situation as well as to see if you need to do anything to aid the process.
