Hi, this month I will be 9 months post op of a rhinoplasty. My swelling is still pretty severe, and 12 days ago my surgeon gave me a tiny amount of steroid injection. He also told me to massage the nose, which I've been doing and putting a considerable amount of pressure on. It doesn't hurt at all, but I notice that whenever I do massage it it gets more swollen for 1/2 days. At 9 months how strong is the nose, and can cartilage or anything like that still shift and ruin my results?
