I am currently 10 months post-rhinoplasty, and I have quite thick skin. In the first few months, the side of my nose shifted to the left, and I believe the tip also deviated in that direction. During a follow-up appointment, the pictures taken showed that the nose tip looked crooked. Since then, I have been taping it to the right. I will attach some pictures for reference. What could be causing this issue, and how can it be fixed? Do my nose and its appearance look any better in the most recent?
