4 months post-op. Thick skin and middle eastern. My tip is hard as a rock, but I can slightly move my tip down and side to side, and sometimes throughout the day it feels softer but it is overall hard. when does the tip feel more softer and flexible. Surgeon used double floating medial crural strut as tip support. And no rib/ear graft. Will my tip ever feel like before surgery or will I have to have revision to remove the tip support? Can the tip ever be the same as pre-op even with revision?
