I had a rhinoplasty in 2019 and a hard nose hit in 2020. Since then, it feels like there are rods along the sides of my nose where the muscles are, I can't move my nasal muscles without experiencing significant resistance, and there is a popping noise when I blink or scrunch my nose around the eye. I have also noticed that when I push my nose from the sides, the blocked feeling completely resolves for 5-15 seconds. Could cartilage grafts become dislodged and interfere with muscle? Thanks
