Can a Crooked Midline (under Nose Between Nostrils) Be Straightened by Massage? (photo)

Asked By:LB32

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.
