Rhinoplasty Specialist, Dr. Shervin Naderi discusses and demonstrates a few techniques for nasal massage in order to keep the nose aligned and improve symmetry after a rhinoplasty. These techniques do work in many instances where a good structural rhinoplasty has been done and can be an adjunct to the surgery, but will not work if the proper surgery has not been performed.

The nose is a hollow, weak, 3D structure and there are no metal plates or screws in place. No welding is done. It is not a solid strong structure. A cast or splint after surgery is only worn for about a week. An occasional and diligent proper massage and manipulation post surgery with the consent of your surgeon can help the healing process by fighting scar tissue contracture and cartilage, or even skin memory.
