Mild throbbing pain 1 week post rhinoplasty

By momoklick on 24 Jan 2013

Hi guys, I have a mild throbbing pain in my left nose 8 days post rhinoplasty. Maybe a slight headache as well. Just wondering if this is normal since I have experienced very little pain during recovery so far and haven't even needed painkillers.

I remember reading somewhere else they had pain from day 8 onwardsfor a little while but no pain before that and I think it has something to do with nerves reconnecting?? I would Ask your surgeon if you are worried :)

I'm sorry you're dealing with the throb. Have you asked your surgeon about this? I don't remember a pain like that, but it's been quite a while since I had my rhinoplasty. I'd give your surgeon's office a quick call and ask. That's why they get the big bucks, right?
