Rhinoplasty pain

Steven Wallach, MD answers: Nose tip still painful years after Rhinoplasty

I am almost 2 years post Septoplasy/Rhinoplasty and my tip is still very painful when I kiss someone. This is so disappointing. A kiss should not be painful. Why is this?

It is unusual to have pain in the nose this far out. It could be a chronic infection or tip cartilage that is thinning out the overlying skin. Hard to tell without an exam. I would see a rhinoplasty specialist in your area.
