10 months ago, I had Rhinoplasty to remove a bump on my bridge, the tip of my nose is still very hard. I was wondering if this is normal? And I was thinking of having a tip-plasty to make my tip less protruding, could a hard tip prevent a tip-plasty?

Answer: Nasal tip hardness after rhinoplasty. As the other surgeons have said the tip of the nose can stay hard for a year. It will be hard beyond that point if a large tip graft was used or a strut that protrudes to the tip. You can still have a tip plasty. See an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon for the best results.

Answer: The tip of the nose can remain firm for a year or more after rhinoplasty The amount of swelling and firm scar tissue depends on the thickness of your skin and the technique used to refine your nose. Sometimes grafts are used in the tip of the nose that may feel firm for a very long time. I would suggest waiting at least a year or more before considering revision of a firm tip. Firmness can mean that healing is not complete.
