I had an open Rhinoplasty in March 2008 with a very minor Revision Rhinoplasty (took 15 minutes under straight local, closed procedure)in Jan 09. The tip of my nose feels squishy and moldable. If I apply a little pressure, it goes down but then returns to previous after a short time. Is this still swelling?

Answer: Rhinoplasty changes Be patient. Rhinoplasty results can take awhile to settle down. It may be "squishy " for a while as you stated, but I would avoid pushing on it too much during the early post-op period because you may distort the results.

Answer: Enjoy your new nose If you are happy with the way the nose looks, and you can breathe properly, then that is what I would consider a "home run." We use pieces of cartilage to shape noses in order to make a tip look the way it does. When someone presses on the skin and the underlying cartilage, the cartilage can easily bend, but then it will tend to bounce right back when the pressure is released. That is normal. I agree with the other surgeons: leave it alone and enjoy the new you.
