Post Op RhinoPlasty Swelling, Numbness, and Hardening?
I had my rhinoplasty performed 2 weeks ago, my doctor corrected my shifted septum which curved to the right and the hump and he also defined the right tip of my nose as I had previous scar tissue on that side from my first rhinoplasty. I am now experiencing some numbness and hardening on the right side of my nose where most of the work was performed? Is this normal and will be it going down part of the swelling or can it be reoccurring scar tissue??

Swelling, Hardness, and Numbness 2 Weeks after Rhinoplasty
Swelling which is always present 2 weeks after a rhinoplasty does cause the hardness you describe. Temporary numbness is frequently present. Your post operative course is normal.

Post-rhinoplasty changes
Firmness and numbness are fairly common after rhinoplasty surgery, it should get better with time.
