Tingling when tip of the nose touched

Celebrated482513Dec 26, 2023
Hello, I am nearly 8 months post op, nose looks good - though I am hoping it’ll continue to improve as I have thick skin. However, when I lightly touch under tip of my nose on the right side I feel sort of a tingling feeling that spreads upwards and inside. No such feeling on the left side.

Based on your photo, you appear to have nostril asymmetry on front view. Your left nostril is higher than your right, and there are some small tip asymmetries as well. You are seeing this likely because you have thin nasal skin. You do not appear to have an overly wide nasal bridge appearance....
