I recently had open rhinoplasty 8 weeks ago and the midline between my nostrils ( looking from under my nose) is crooked . My doctor advised me to start massaging the cartilage from inside with my fingers to straighten it. I don't see this correcting it. I was hoping for other doctors opinions.

Dear Diamond,
Thank you for your question. While I'm sure you can find a rhinoplasty somewhere for that price, it is probably not a good idea to shop like that for a facial procedure. The difference between a nose you may like and a nose you do not like is measured in millimeters...
It seems you have tried all of the usually methods. You may need to be seen by your plastic surgeon to see if there is a dried mucus plug or blood that is obstructing your breathing passages.
An exam would be necessary to provde you with accurate advice. I would recommend consulting a board certfied ENT or faclal plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty. They will be able to examine his nose in person and tell you whether or not it is broken. I hope this helps, and I wish you...
