East Asian Rhinoplasty. The skin on my bridge and around the nostrils feels tight, and the tip and columella are firm.

February 22, 2013

I'm 43 days post-op. My surgeon placed a graft (ear & septum cartilage) on my bridge. He also put grafts (ear cartilage) in my tip and columella and performed alar base reduction. 1) The shape of my nose appears quite rigid and unnatural. Will it diminish in size and appear more natural in the next few months? 2) Will they return to comfortable and soft? Will I ever feel like it's my own nose again?
