I am 21 years old. I have been considering rhinoplasty for many years, however I am not sure if my expectations for the results are realistic or not. I would like to know an expert opinion whether a rhinoplasty is necessary for me, or is my nose harmonious with the rest of my features?

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery to achieve a narrower nasal appearance.
Based on your photos, I suspect that steroid injections could do more harm than good. I suspect that while you healed, after your rhinoplasty, your tip has dropped, and this may be contributing to the bump that you are seeing. This may also be associated with a hanging columella and nostril show...
I believe that ocean water is the most soothing after rhinoplasty since it is hypertonic saline. That said, chlorinated water would not harm your results. I hope this helps, and I wish you all the best moving forward! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
Have not met any patients that have changed their nasal appearance after rhinoplasty by manipulating their noses. I think that your nose will be a bit sensitive after surgery, so some habitual actions may actually be discontinued if they cause discomfort. Wishing you while moving forward!...
