When I got the packing removed was when I first felt the pain for the surgery and now I am scared of the pain I will get from getting the external splint removed and stitches. I wanted to know how exactly it feEl to get them out and off. I also wanted to know if they the nurse clean the crust off before removing it I have a lot of crust built up on inside the tape tip of the nose I've been using the nasal spray and Q-tips to clean it but it's still some left?

Rhinoplasty takes weeks to months to completely heal. You most likely will have swelling over this period, but it should become less and less noticeable. 18 days is extremely early in your healing process. Just follow the advice of your surgeon and give it some time.
Now that your incisions are well healed after rhinoplasty you should be cleared to resume Accutane. However, you need to check with your dermatologist and your plastic surgeon so they both can clear to resume this medication
Yes, the lips and entire face may feel sore or pressure after rhinoplasty. Most of the rhinoplasty discomfort improves within the first week and continues to improve with time. Other symptoms, such as body ache or sore throat, may be due to the anesthesia and not necessarily the rhinoplasty...
