Painful Sharp Twinge Along Nasal Bones After Rhinoplasty - Is This Normal?

yoshida
I had an extensive open revision rhinoplasty 9 days ago which included breaking and resetting the nasal bones. When I make a certain facial expression, like raising eyebrows rapidly in shock, I feel a sharp painful twinge along my nasal bones right between the eyes. Is this a normal part of healing or should I be concerned with how the bone is mending? (This is the 2nd time my bones have been broken in a rhino procedure).
