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

Answer: Possible Cartilage Warping Over time, the scarring of the nose will place excess pressure on the cartilage, which can lead to cartilage warping. This, couple with decreased swelling (swelling in rhinoplasty can last up to a year in the nasal tip) may reveal some cartilage irregularities over time. Depending on how severe these irregularities are, it may be necessary to have additional cartilage grafting in order to correct the deformity. However, most of these small irregularities will get better over time.

Answer: Rhinoplasty It is important to follow up with your original rhinoplasty surgeon and have them evaluate your concerns. It is possible that the hit you experienced could have caused some damage to the surgical site, or it could be a natural part of the healing process. Your surgeon will be able to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. It is always better to err on the side of caution and have a professional evaluate any concerns you may have after surgery.
