Feeling sick and weak after rhinoplasty?

Question

I was born with a cleft palate and 5 days ago I had rhinoplasty to straighten my nose and my septum. I woke up this morning feeling very sick, I had a very sore throat, chills, my face is very pale, and I feel very weak. Is this normal?

Dan Hatef, MD · Answer

Hey Joe Joe, no that is not normal.  Rhinoplasty recovery is often tough, but you should be getting better, not worse.  I don't give medical advice out of state or over the internet, but I would definitely recommend you call your surgeon ASAP, as he would want to know about this.  Don't delay and good luck!
