Asked By:Lolly2013

Face numbness and nose still hurts? My nose naturally had a bump but after my fall it seems swollen all around; still hurts severely. The fall was bad enough to have a concussion - Fell onto concrete. facial numbness through my nose and down to my front teeth. Can move the middle part of my nose around but that may be normal. Wondering how long the pain should last in my nose and who I would see if it continues? Tried of get the same angle on the picture - left was last month and the right is my nose five days after the fall.

Rubbed nose too hard when it was still healing from open rhino; turned red, then healed, but is still discolored?
George C. Peck, Jr, MD says:

Without the benefit of a picture or exam, it is very difficult to give you sound advice however, leave your nose alone. Consult and trust your surgeon's guidance and advice. It takes one year for the final result. Chances are that the discoloration will dissipate over time.Best wishes

Can tape prevent tip to droop after rhinoplasty?
