I had a rhinoplasty in 2023. The result was the most perfect nose I’ve ever seen. I chose an amazing doctor and was meticulous on after care. Unfortunately I took an airbag to the face in a car accident a few months ago. The nose looked exactly the same afterwards, and stayed exactly the same for about 2 months. A few weeks ago the tip started looking super deformed. What happened? Did something shift in accident but not show up until 2 months + later? Also I have been taping it at night since I noticed it, will that help? And is it something that could be fixed/smoothed out with filler? Thanks.
