I’m almost 3 months post op. I had alveolar bone graft (cleft lip),open rhinoplasty and upper lip augmentation. So recently it feels like I have nerve twitching near the bone graft(between nose and mouth). Or should it be moveable? My nose is also kind of tickling..it started two weeks ago. Nothing has bothered me but now I’m worried about this. Could it be that my nerve was damaged? And could that be because of my age? I’m 19. I heard that bone graft should’ve been performed at the early ages..
