Im 5 weeks post rhinoplasty. I saw a crust booger (gross, I know) stick out of any nose and I carefully began to pull it out w tweezers. I barley tugged at it before deciding to leave it alone and not take it out because I realized it was pretty stuck. However, since last night my nose has been on fire on that side. No bleeding, no swelling, but stinging pain. Did I pull on a stitch or skin an ruin my nose? Will the pain go away? Please help :(
I'm 3 days post-op and while most of my nose just feels pressure, the incision is stingy and painful to the point that I am taking my painkillers still and as such have not yet had a bowel movement. The stitches are meant to dissolve on their own and I've been instructed to keep them moist using a Q-tip with neosporin or vaseline, which is torture. I can barely move my face/make expressions because the stitches feel so tight it feels like they're being stretched and it hurts! Is this normal?
My boyfriend head butted me in the nose two days ago which has caused the tip of my nose and the right side of the septum to sting it also stings more to move it or it pops a bit.. My nose was already crooked after my brother dropped an 11kg medicine ball on my face but is it possible something has happened to the cartlidge?
I've just gone past 3 weeks post op and for the last week and a half i get odd stinging pains in my nose. I had open rhinoplasty on the tip and part of the bone shaved down. I haven't had any nose bleeds or bad smells. Is this normal? The tip is still a little tender to touch and swollen.
