I had Rhinoplasty only 2 months ago, i had it done because my nose had been smashed not broken for about 8 years, the doctors said i had to wait til i was a certain age for my nose to stop growing. I was wondering why the tip of my nose is a little hard? and will i ever be able to move it again?

Answer: Let me give you a "tip"
Nasal tip "hardness", swelling can be very normal after rhinoplasty. This "hardness" represents swelling and internal healing. This will improve "soften" as time passing and the healing is complete. Your tip will become more flexible.

Answer: Hard on Tip of Nose After Rhinoplasty
Hi,
It often takes months for the tip of your nose to get back to feeling normal. The "hardness" can be related to swelling and scar tissue that will resolve. If grafting material was used in your nasal tip, it too contributes to hardness and stiffness. You should be able to move the tip of your nose within a few months.
Enjoy your new nose and be well.
