Post septorhinoplasty tenderness is normal

Tenderness post septorhinoplasty is common especially in this early stage. Driving a car where you have bumps like a safari is fine and will not hurt the overall result. I would not suggest four wheeling or something where you may have direct contact by either yourself or a partner. As far as kissing you will have some sensitivity and this is normal watch any hard pressure to the nose during any activities. Your smile should be coming back to normal soon and hopefully you will be smiling... more
