Nasal Pain and Headache 1 month Post Rhinoplasty

It is unusual to have pain one month post rhinoplasty, but there are several possible causes such as residual swelling and sinus obstruction. You should schedule an appointment with your surgeon.

One month out from rhinoplasty

It is a bit unusual to have pain inthe nose one month out from rhinoplasty but it is still possible. Pinpointing the exact cause may be difficult especially if one does not know exactly what was done in the operating room. Check in with your doctor.
