Pain and Movement Inside Nose 4 Days After Rhinoplasty, Is This Normal?

June 25, 2011

Day 4 after rhinoplasty, and I have throbbing pain in my left nostril. I feel compelled to flare it, as if to get it in a better position. I feel movement inside the nose when I smile, laugh, or yawn. I haven't been taking my pain meds regularly since nothing was hurting before. I was told no pain was normal. I called my Dr. on Day 2 about bumping my nose slightly, and he said that was probably fine. Should I be alarmed this time? Or is this kind of irritation normal?
