I had a septoplasty and rhinoplasty 6 days ago. I have had no bruising on the face only a little swelling however I have what feels like bruises on the back of my head and the right half of the back of my head is numb. The other side has feeling. When I tap it or brush my hair it is numb. The feeling is coming back slowly however I am interested to know why I have this issue. I asked my surgeon and he said there was no trauma to the head during surgery and my head was in a headring.
