So I'm 4 Weeks Post-op. Is my Nose Strong Enough to Return to Normalcy?

Asked By:california5192 in california

I had a open-rhinoplasty. I had the nasal bones broken and re-set so it looks more narrow and also had the hump removed. also, i had a droopy tip fixed. i feel good. but i'm tempted to pick the inside of my nose because it itches. also, i'm tempted to squeeze blackheads and pop zits on my nose. when can i treat my nose "normally" or will i always have to be careful?
