Hi,I am 20 months post op from my Rhinoplasty. As my nose heals I am noticing that the tip of my nose has hard cartilage that still is rock hard and isn't soft at all, and has now created a circle on the tip of my nose that's very noticeable. I don't like this look and my question is will the cartilage continue to settle down or will it stay like this forever, if so what can be done about this?

Answer: A permanent non-surgical nose job may be useful for camouflaging tip cartilages after rhinoplasty.
If you are one year after rhinoplasty surgery, you should have no issues in the gym. You should also have no issues getting your nasal skin extracted and having a facial to clear up your skin. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
Hi there, it could just be swelling. Massaging the area can help bring the swelling down. Keep in mind that it takes about 1 to 1 year and a half for the nose to heal fully. Good luck with everything and if you have any questions feel free to contact our office!
Hi! Excellent question. yes you can have a rhinoplasty but with all surgeries you will need to have medical clearance to make sure you are safe for anesthesia. Best of luck, Dr. Ghazizadeh.
