Pressure Feeling on my Nose. Is This Normal?

December 29, 2012
Asked By:Fayble

I had a revision rhinoplasty about a week ago and just got my splint taken off. I'm feeling an odd sense of what can only be described as light pressure coming from the bridge of my nose. My doctor gave me septal spreader grafts (I think that's what they're called) to widen my nose, because it was too narrow and I couldn't breathe properly. He also pushed my tip back because it was sticking out too much. Could any of these factors cause a slight pressure feeling coming from the area that he widened?
