I had a nose job 6 months ago. I feel a light popping noise when I touch my nose or I put my head on the side. Is it normal?

Just holding your nose each day won't help. Rhinoplasty can be done to take down that bump permanently, making it look better, but natural as well. At the same time the septum can be straightened so that your breathing gets better as well. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.
