hello doctors, I had my rhinoplasty 6 months ago, recently I started noticing the tip is getting wider and I'm afraid that something might happen, especially the right side of the nose tip there is a weird gap between the middle of the nose and the right side tip. two weeks ago I hit the right side of my nose, but it was a light hit and I thought nothing would happen because of it, and I had it checked by a local plastic surgeon who told me nothing happened, but it feels uncomfortable
