Is a rotting smell after rhinoplasty normal?

September 20, 2018
Asked By:alh2 in Chantilly, Virginia

I had a rhinoplasty 2 months ago and pretty much the whole time I’ve had this rotting flesh smell only on one side. Just makes me nervous because I’ve had an impetigo/staph breakout as a kid and needed antibiotics to keep it from creeping up into sinuses and further. I have no other symptoms though like fever or pus etc.
