Tongue n Groove technique - How do I know the doctor used this technique and how would my nose feel?

December 31, 2014
Asked By:lynnuk in Washington, DC

I had a revision rhinoplasty and I know last time I didn't have tongue n groove but I have a feeling the doctor might have done it this time around. How do I know that I have that procedure? I am only 2 months post op but my tip and the entire nose feels a lot different compared to the last surgery. It is much stiffer at the tip and collumela area and when I push on it lightly its hard unlike last time . It almost feels like I might be touching a septum when I touch the tip of my nose.
