Asked By:123hope in Ann Arbor, MI

After a month of throbbing pain on the left side of my nose with numbness on my left cheek and a feeling of pressure my doctor said it is a nerve in my cheek. Will this go away? It’s been 37 days since my surgery. I also have a small visible suture (absorbable) where the incision is an a small area that hurts.
