im 8 months post op... Got my huge bump removed and tip lifted.....overall happy by theres this bony deviation which looks bad on certain lighting...I want to know if strong pressure or massage can smoothen this bump. I asked my surgeon for a revision but he said it looks fine :/ i dont understand... Also its the *bony* part of the nose, so is there any point of massaging the spot? Also why doesnt my surgeon want to do a minor revision? Am I overthinking??

Answer: If there are bony asymmetries and bony contour issues with your rhinoplasty, it is unlikely to improve through massage or with time. There are many surgeons that are hesitant to revise their work, as there is generally little financial benefit to doing so. However, a caring, dedicated plastic surgeon should seek perfection, and if there are small procedures that can help address minor imperfections, they should be addressed by the surgeon.

Answer: Massaging to fix bony humps? Thanks Celebrated761962 for your question! It's understandable to worry about a bony deviation after rhinoplasty. Although it may be alluring to think about using natural treatments like massage or pressure, it's crucial to realize that bone is a hard structure that doesn't react well to these kinds of techniques. Sometimes your surgeon may teach you some techniques early after surgery to partially mold the bones favorably.
