Is it normal to feel a seam in nasal bones that is still somewhat sensitive 3 years after rhinoplasty?

Asked By:KLnature in Boon, Michigan

I had rhinoplasty 3 years ago and can feel a lengthwise seam on the bridge that is still a little sensitive. I had a dorsal hump on the left side removed (had formed when I broke my nose 2o years ago) and this seam is more on the left side. At times I've felt pressure on the bridge of my nose - are the bones still healing? A small ridge developed on the right side. Is this all normal?
