Hello, Thank you for your question. I suggest to speak with your operating Surgeon regarding this. Congestion is usually always a complaint but pain is usually minimal. Be sure to tell your Surgeon about your concerns.We wish you the best of luck!

Dear anitagabhart, I would speak with your surgeon regarding your pain. Most patients experience minimal pain after rhinoplasty and the most often complaint is just congestion during the first few days. An intra-nasal examination will be helpful or other testing may be required. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
