Facial muscular twitch after a Rhinoplasty?

Question

I had a Deviated septum corrected, along with rhinoplasty including cartilage tip correction, and hump shaving, 11 days ago. Obviously I know it is still early to tell any results so i won't ask any of those questions. My concern is that I been having a muscular twitch under my right eye. Could this have any correlation? just wanted a opinion before asking my surgeon next week on our follow up.

Twitching can be caused by many different things. It may be relatd to early post-op swelling and irritation, but it could be something more. Always best to discuss with and see your surgeon.

While twitching is certainly not a standard symptom following rhinoplasty, it could be indirectly related. You are taking the right approach by asking your surgeon about it. Chances are it will resolve on its own.Good luck!Dr. A

Alexander Ovchinsky, MD · Answer

While there is no direct relationship between facial twitch and rhinoplasty, there may be an indirect relationship due to soft tissue manipulation, anesthesia, stress, etc. Most likely it is just a temporary symptom that will resolve with a little more time.

whilst this could be something associated with your recovery there is no direct relationship between facial twitch and a rhinoplasty. Almost certainly it will disappear in a relatively short time.
