After nasal surgery, experiencing firmness in the nasal tip is quite common. This firmness is typically due to swelling and the formation of scar tissue beneath the skin. Initially, the firmness may persist for several months, but it can take up to a year or more to fully resolve. It’s important to note that this initial firmness is often a natural part of the healing process. Over time, the scar tissue can contribute to the sensation of firmness. If the firmness persists beyond two years, additional treatments such as steroid injections or revision surgery may be necessary. Following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and having patience during the recovery process are essential.
