Re-gaining feeling in nose after Rhinoplasty?

April 2, 2017
Asked By:LilyRose52 in California, MD

I got a sept/rhino about 3-4 years ago. The tip of my nose is very slightly still numb. I was told to expect this as it could take years for the nerves to re-form. I have recently, within the last few weeks noticed a twitch on the bridge of my nose on the left hand side. I am stressed, but could this mean that the nerves in my nose are coming back? Hopefully that makes sense!
