Why is Nose Tip Hard After Rhinoplasty?

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.

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.
