Typically nasal massage after rhinoplasty is not done. The swelling will disappear on its own with time and patience. The tissues like wise will soften with time. Check with your surgeon to see if this is something they recommend.
Dear sunflowerslove, Typically nasal massage is not indicated after rhinoplasty surgery because you want to let the area heal and settle, not apply added pressure to the nasal structure. However, I have heard of some surgeons recommending this, so it would be best to check with your operating surgeon during your pre operative appointment. Good luck!
You would only massage your nose if directed by your surgeon to do so. Massage helps swelling come down over the bones and the sometimes the sides of the nose.
