13 days ago I had open rhinoplasty with ear cartilage added to my tip, and cheek lipo on my left cheek to correct asymmetry. I was healing well till last night when I took a really hot shower. I stood under the shower for 10 mins at least with the hot water hitting my face. My nose and cheek became more swollen than before. Cheek feels more numb and tender. My skin doesn't look burnt though. Did I do some permanent damage? Would the hot shower result in scar tissues and deformity? Thanks.

It is highly unlikely that you did anything bad to your nose after sneezing. Any specific concerns if you suspect a change in shape or other issues, then speak with your surgeon.
Dear ACL2016, Your nose can be made beautiful to balance well with your facial features in the hands of an expert surgeon. If you feel that you are still concerned about your results or you and your surgeon are not on the same page then I would suggest having the surgeon perform digital imaging...
Thanks for the question. After 4-6 weeks your surgery area will totally healed and yes you can dancing and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.
