Can yawning open the nasal tip sutures a week after rhinoplasty?

July 16, 2016
Asked By:Rubylee123 in Dubai, AE

I felt a tight sensation through my nasal tip whenever I yawned through my nose (I couldn't stop it). Now when I yawn the tight sensation is gone..question is did I open my Nasal sutures since there is no longer a tight sensation through my nose when I yawn?
