6 Weeks Post-Op Rhinoplasty, Skin Sticking to Bone on Bridge of Nose, Should I Massage It?

suzyshere1
It has been 6 weeks since my Rhinoplasty, it looks like the skin on the bridge of my nose is stuck to the bone. Theres also discolorization in this area (almost looks like small bruises) when lifting my eyebrows it feels tight around this area. I went back to the surgeon and he gave me some filler injections, now I have what looks like a dent on one side of the nose. He told me to come back in a month at which time he will show me how to massage this area. should I do massaging now?
