Hello! I've had an open rhinoplasty 16 days ago, and today (16th of August) I saw two kind of "blisters" next to both sides of my nose. What could this be? Should I be concerned, or is it normal? Is it related to my rhinoplasty? They itch a lot, but it doesn't hurt to touch them. Please know that if somehow I had to contact my surgeon, I can't since it was done abroad.
