If the nasal bones are uneven after they are repositioned towards the center, is there anything you can do to straighten them out yourself during the first two weeks post-op?
Answer: Nasal bones can be "molded" after nose job. After consulting with your surgeon, it is possible that they will permit you to "mold" the bones into place by gently massaging the bones within the first 3 weeks after surgery prior to the point where the bones "set".

Answer: Nasal bones take from 6 to 8 weeks to heal after rhinoplasty Sometimes firm pressure can help straighten the nasal bones within a few weeks of Rhinoplasty. This is sometimes suggested by surgeons for crooked noses or excessively wide noses. However, you should discuss this with your doctor first to make sure it is appropriate for you. There may be a number of factors that may make this contraindicated and potentially harmful to your result. If you are considering doing anything to your nose right after surgery please make sure your surgeon agrees and discusses exactly how this is to be done.

Answer: Nasal Molding After Surgery The nasal bones are very fragile. After surgery in the first two weeks gentle molding with digital pressure can move them. You can use that to your advantage but make sure to ask your surgeon which way to push. If the bones still heal uneven then you can use fillers like Restylane or Radiesse to contour the nose.

Answer: Uneven nasal bones after surgery There is nothing that can be done by the patient in the first two weeks post-operatively to realign the nasal bones. Be sure to follow up with your surgeon for post surgical evaluations. Allow full healing to take place and in the event that they are crooked after six months, they can be reset to a normal straight position. Revision surgery will involve re-breaking the nasal bones under general anesthesia.
