Rhinoplasty 24 days post op. Feeling of tightness and stiffness normal? (Photos)

You need to have patience with your body as it begins to heal. The skin, bone and cartilage are all traumatized during surgery. Inflammation (swelling) is the normal response and will help your nose to heal and look beautiful in the end. If, one year from now, you are unhappy with your nose, then that is the time to think about a revision procedure. Right now, concentrate on other things you like to do and let your nose and under eyes take the time to heal. I hope this helps.

Hi BradleyK7,
As your continue to heal after your rhinoplasty you will experience many unique feelings including pressure and tightness.  You may also have a stiff upper lip, a tightness with smiling, and some loss of sensation.  All of these changes are normal and not concerning.  Just continue to allow the healing process to progress. 
Best,
Dr. Paquet
