Answer: Rhinoplasty Recovery: Post-Operative Headache Depending on what techniques were used and whether or not the nasal bones were broken, it is not uncommon for patients to experience a headache in the first several days following surgery. However, a persistent headache 8 days after surgery warrants a return visit to your physician.

Answer: Normal to Have Headaches Everyday After Rhinoplasty? In most people discomfort and pain after rhinoplasty settles 24-48 hours after the surgery. In patients where the nasal bones have been narrowed, a minority of patients may find some sensitivity and discomfort over the bridge of the nose intermittently for several weeks. In addition there is some swelling on the inside lining of the nose that can result in symptoms of congestion, this can result in headaches particularly in sensitive individuals if coupled with other conditions such as hay fever. These patients may benefit from additional medications during the recovery period.

Answer: Headaches after rhinoplasty Since it has only been eight days since your rhinoplasty, it is normal to have facial pressure, headache, due to the rhinoplasty. When the nasal bones are broken and reset with osteotomies, it does tend to take a couple of weeks for the headaches to go away. For many before and after examples of closed rhinoplasty, please see the link below

Answer: Severe Headaches are not normal You should return and discuss this with your surgeon as continuous headaches are uncommon one week after rhinoplasty. Most of our patients do not take pain medication for more than a day or two following the procedure.
