Will I be able to move my nose without touching it after rhinoplasty?

Yes- thank you for asking. The muscles of the nose that allow nostril flaring should move after a rhinoplasty. In a few cases, the swelling and muscle being stunned will prevent movement initially until the area resolves. Speak to your rhinoplasty surgeon. Best wishes!

Flaring your nostrils or tensing the muscles after rhinoplasty will not harm the nose itself. A cast is usually applied across the bridge of the nose to hold the nasal bones their new place. Anticipate visible bruising and swelling for two weeks and full healing takes a year. Rhinoplasty is a very difficult endeavor,  so choose your surgeon very wisely based on extensive experience.
