Posted under Rhinoplasty q&a

Did I compromise my rhinoplasty results? I had an irrational fear of touching my nose.

During my healing period, I didn't use ANY pressure when washing my nose skin. This caused a lot of gunk to build up on my nose resulting in very occluded pores. My nose looked amazing at 1-2 months, but the skin became terrible at 2-4 months. I was too scared to exfoliate my skin. Now (5 months), after fixing my skin, the contour of nose changed. It is a lot more bulbous. Did I compromise my final result? I know that prolonged nasal swelling can result in excess scar tissue under the skin.
