So I inserted my index finger on one side, and my thumb on the other, up to the first knuckle, and *gently* squeezed my septum, because I wanted to feel the remaining deviation on the lower portion of my nose. I did this for around 10 min. Can this shift any internal sutures or cartilage on the tip? I'm afraid my tip might look droopier due to this. My closed revision rhinoseptoplasty was done 3 years ago.
