Hello, I had my nose job exactly 6 months ago and I was not told about massaging my nose at all, so I have not been doing that and I was waiting for my nose to get smaller but it didn't, I don't feel it swollen t all now looks like 90% of swelling all gone as everything is soft. is there anything I can doo at this stage to help shape my nose, Will starting the massage now will be effective ?
Answer: Massage may not be helpful for making changes to anyone's rhinoplasty result. We have not recommended nasal massaging nor nasal taping for over 24 years of performing rhinoplasty surgery. If you have concerns about the appearance of your nose, please consider re asking your question with before and after photos. Thank you. Dr Joseph

Answer: Tapes to controle swelling and shape Without photos and in person evaluation, it would be difficult to give you a meaningful advise. We suggest out patients to tape the nose overnight for 2-3 months after surgery, every night; it may be beneficial in your case if done this late.?. Consultation with your surgeon is always the best way to address issues of healing. Good luck.

Answer: Rhinoplasty It's important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions after a nose job, including any advice regarding massaging the nose. However, it's not too late to start massaging your nose now, as long as you do it correctly and under the guidance of your surgeon.

Answer: Does massage improve rhinoplasty results? Hi Amy,Thank you for asking this question.Currently, in the medical field, we do not have enough evidence to conclude that massage can change or improve the result of rhinoplasty surgery. However, we know that it can make recovery faster. So, to answer your question, after 6 months you'd see minimal to no change if you begin massaging the region. Hopefully that helps.Kind regards,Dr Mehmet Dogru
