How much pain is normal 2 weeks post rhinoplasty/turbinectomy? I also had a tip reduction, graft in the tip and graft in one nostril. I, as to be expected, have alot of swelling still, but also have been experiencing some throbbing pain and achyness, mostly on the side where graft was inserted in nostril and of turbinectomy.
