Hello, I had a septo-rhinoplasty with osteomisis and turbelant reduction. Since day 8 I noticed a "clicking" sound when I bend my head (like something is moving inside my nose, on top Just under nasal bone) when I went to get my cast removed (day 11) I told my surgeon. He told me it was "just swelling" after pressing hard on my nasal bone. but he did not examine the inside .it doesn't feel like swelling. Should I be worried and schedule another appointment?
