Nasal bone on the right side sticking out. What can I do to rectify the situation permanently? (Photo)

June 15, 2015
Asked By:Coribere in South Korea, KR

I had revision surgery 4 weeks ago, the swelling around the nasal bone has subsided. However, I have noticed that on the right side the nasal bone sticks out making my nose look very asymmetrical. My surgeon advised me to push down on the area twenty times a day. I can push the bone down with a certain amount of pressure and the bone stays in that position for a while then comes back out again. What can I do to rectify the situation permanently? Should I get the surgeon to rasp the area down?
