If your nasal bones were fractured during your surgery your nose should be stable after about 6 weeks from surgery. Being 10 months from surgery you should be able to touch your nose without any problem at all. The dorsal graft that was placed should scar in over time. By this time point it should be stable. Certainly visiting with your surgeon to find out specifc recommendations would be advisable as your surgeon would best know what exactly was done during surgery.

This far out from surgery, your nose should be stable, and healing great.  The majority of the swelling should be gone as well.  Relax more now and enjoy your new look!For more information, please go to my website at:WirthPlasticSurgery.com

Generally speaking, post rhinoplasty patients have stable noses at six months. You should contact your surgeon but, otherwise stop the worry and go about your life.

Richard Dale Reynolds, MD · Answer

It usually takes 6-8 weeks for the nose to stabilize after manipulating the bones. At 10 months it should be very stable. Since your surgeon knows exactly what was done, you should discuss this with your surgeon.
