My nose seems quite crooked 6 months after i had my septo-rhinoplasty. However, on aligning the tip of my nose to the hard cartilage using my fingers, the nose appears in a straight line. Is it possible that the deviated nose from the original point of deviation is yet to align to the new straightened line of the hard structure internally. Is there a way to know at this point if it is going to correct any further? Can I tape it or do anything else to remove any swelling (if any at this stage)?
