Hello doctor I did rhinoplasty before 12 days and I'm tapping it as my doctor said But I noticed while I'm tapping that the hump is still remain somewhat and my nose is so deviated obviously to the right side above and to the left side below What shall I do?Update: I have spoken to my surgeon and he said I should push my nose to the right side for 2mints/3times a day - Will this be helpful?

Answer: Nasal deviation following rhinoplasty 12 days after rhinoplasty is still too early to determine if you are happy with the final result. Although the majority of swelling after rhinoplasty is resolved by about 1month, you should really wait at least 6 months for the final result because a lot changes from now til then. Following nasal cast removal, however, the nose should be straight. But any other judgments about your nasal appearance takes time, especially the nasal tip and bridge. Although your nose does appear somewhat crooked in the postoperative photo, these are not the best quality photos. A proper physical exam is necessary to determine if your nose is still twisted, and the cause for the persistent nasal deviation (i.e nasal bones, septum, etc). I recommend you discuss your concerns with your rhinoplasty surgeon or a facial plastic surgeon.
