Tenderness after Rhinoplasty

Most tenderness after surgical procedures reches a peak at 48 hours after a procedure, and then begins to go down. Increase in swelling or pain several weeks after rhinoplasty, especially with an artificial graft would be suspicious for an infection. With the advent of MRSA, I would suggest you follow up with your doctor ASAP, to have them evaluate the nose.
