I had a revision rhinoplasty 4 and a half weeks ago o just over a month. it was mainly to fix a bulbous assymetrical tip and an inverted v deformity. the bridge was not altered. what i am concerned about is that yesterday i went to get a facial and i didnt mention to the asthecian that she shouldnt apply much pressure to my nose and she sort of bent my nose tip to the side using medium pressure (both sides) and that is when i remembered to tell her!it was not painful.can that damage my tip?
