Nose throbbing 3 years post-rhinoplasty - could it be caused by an untreated infection?

February 24, 2023
Asked By:LoveRoses in New York, New York

I've had throbbing and swelling and a perceptible outward projection on the side of my nose since my Nov. 2019 revision rhino surgery. A few months post-revision I informed my doctor that I smelled pus and noticed a secretion coming out of my nostril on the side where I had my cartilage graft. My surgeon said this was normal and dismissed my concerns. Could I still possibly be dealing with the after effects of an untreated infection?
