I had my procedure on the 9th of December 2014. Last weekend I knocked the tip of my nose a few times whilst kissing, today I was bringing my hand up to my face and I accidentily knocked the bridge of my nose with some force. I put some ice cubes on it for 10 mins.The last thing I want is a large bump on my nose! There was no bleeding but it was a very sharp pain. I already have a small bump on my nose, I noticed it when my cast was removed 5 days after my surgery, scared I might exaggerate it.

The short answer to your question, is yes...the nose will become softer with age. It should not, however, 'lean to the side'! You didn't say how long ago the surgery was, but I suggest seeing your doctor again or seeing another surgeon to evaluation.
Without photos and exam- it's impossible to comment accurately. Would be essential to see the photos. Generally speaking, nasal deformities including those caused by cocaine are improvable provided you stop using this drug immediately.
I have
my patients from out of town stay for at least one
week post-op so I can evaluate them and remove the splint and sutures. I make
sure they’re
doing well before they leave. I allow my patients to travel by air 7-10 days
post-op if they
use Afrin spray during take offs and landings.
