Answer: Post Rhinoplasty pressure Your surgery was very recent. It is certainly normal to have any variety of sensations in the surgical area this soon after surgery. The pressure you feel is most likely from edema or swelling, but it may also be due to cartilage grafting or even sutures dissolving. Also the nose may be numb this soon after surgery and many patients experience that as pressure or feeling swollen. If there is any redness or focal pain that might be due to inflammation or even infection(although the latter is rare). I would recommend contacting your surgeon and getting an evaluation. Hope this helps.

Answer: Post Rhinoplasty Pain Its best if you contact your surgeon. If the tightening is associated with pain and redness then it may be possible that you have an infection and your surgeon needs to assess this. Hope this helps.
