I had rhinoplasty three weeks ago. After my cast was taken off (2 weeks post op) I started using q-tips to clean the inside of my nose. I went a little bit further than the actual tip, but not too much. I wasn’t aware that I was not supposed to do this, and since I found out it was wrong I stopped. There was never any bleeding, pain or discomfort while I did it. Do you think this will have any impact on my final results? Is it possible that I shifted or affected the surgeon’s work to my nose?

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your

Hello and thank you for your question. Rhinoplasty, if done well, should bring about subtle changes that enhance and soften your looks but are not easily noticeable. Please consult a board certified cosmetic surgeon. All the best.
Hello,
It's unlikely that you have done any permanent damage to your nose after trauma. If the splint was still on the nose the risk of any displacement is even less. Make sure your surgeon evaluates your nose internally and externally when the splint is removed.
