Is it normal to feel pressure on the bridge of the nose and hurting stitches after rhinoplasty?

January 18, 2016
Asked By:duzun in Izmir, TR

I am 2 days post op and i feel pressure on my nose under my cast where my hump used to be before surgery. Can it change shape because of this pressure? I also sprayed some nasal spray on my stitches and it hurt a little. Should I continue to spray or should I stop?
