I'm 6 weeks post rhinoplasty. Should my nose be straight and centered? Will "molding" really help straighten out the nose?

Asked By:lotus4 in Newport Beach, CA

I am 6 weeks post op from an asian rhinoplasty where I got an autologous implant. My nose looks slightly deviated and not perfectly centered. My surgeon instructed me to continue molding my nose to help straighten/center it out. Is this normal? Shouldn't my nose be centered and straight 6 weeks post surgery? I feel even more self conscious about my nose :( . Not sure what I should do.. or what my options are if my nose doesn't straighten out .
