Nose massage to change shape
Massage to change shape after rhinoplasty
Massage if not going to have an impact on the shape of your nose after rhinoplasty.
It can be helpful to soften the tip and reduce swelling in the bridge but will not alter the shape, especially after the first two weeks.
For the nasal shortening and large nostril, only a consultation with a plastic surgeon will do. (Peter E. Johnson, MD, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)
Massage won’t help your nose
I find that massage is useful during the healing phase and overall can help the nose look better if performed regularly.
However, massage will not change your nostril size or shape, and can only minimally help an upturned nose. (Andrew Campbell, MD, Milwaukee Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Massage after rhinoplasty
The healing time after revision rhinoplasty is longer than for regular rhinoplasty, as scar tissue has already developed.
There is a natural progression for this “shrinking” to take place, and there is no really any proven therapy that can speed this process, including massage.
I am not a fan on injectables on the nose as they may further damage your skin. From your description, it sounds like you need an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to correct your concerns. (Michel Siegel, MD, Houston Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Nose massage to change shape without rhinoplasty
Massaging the nose after rhinoplasty can help with the initial edema (swelling). After 3 to 4 weeks massaging will be less useful. Again it will help with the initial swelling but not the shape. (Oleh Slupchynskyj, MD, FACS, New York Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Massage will not correct abnormalities from a rhinoplasty.
Massage of an operated area is perhaps one of the most overrated therapies encountered. Massage releases histamine and increases swelling. It will not correct an anatomical problem after nose surgery. Only surgical correction or injectables can accomplish this. (Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
Nose shape changes
Nose massage to change shape no surgery
Nasal shape contouring with message is very effective for management of the nasal dorsum as it is healing following dorsal hump reduction or correction of crooked nasal deviations.
Messaging is good for the first month following surgery. I don’t believe that messaging is going to help with your concerns. (Arian Mowlavi, MD, Laguna Beach Plastic Surgeon)
Can nasal massage improve the shape of the nose after second rhinoplasty.?
Nasal massage can help in reducing some of the swelling but can not help in changing the nasal shape. In order to lengthen a foreshorten nose and reduce the nostril size you’ll require tertiary rhinoplasty. (Erel Laufer, MD, Dunedin Plastic Surgeon)
Massage won’t change the shape of the nose.
Nose massage to change shape without surgery
You would be wasting your time. See an experienced surgeon if you are unhappy with the shape. (Toby Mayer, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Massaging will not cause structural changes in a nose that has undergone 2 rhinoplasties
You have undergone 2 rhinoplasties and probably have a considerable amount of scar tissue in addition to the deformties that you noted. Massaging will not have an effect on this.
You would need to see a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon skilled in addressing secondary rhinoplasties. These can often be quite challenging to treat and have precise and predictable results. (Steven Turkeltaub, MD, Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon)
