Pressure Feeling on my Nose. Is This Normal?

From what you describe, this type of pressure sensation is quite normal following the type of surgery you mentioned. I would not be too worried unless you had other symptoms associated with the pressure. To be more certain, you should consult with your rhinoplasty surgeon. 

Hello, and sorry to hear about the discomfort you are experiencing following surgery. One week is still very soon after your surgery, and you are at the peak of your swelling. Typical side effects following rhinoplasty may include:

1) Swelling
2) Bruising
3) Bleeding
4) Asymmetry
5) A feeling of "pressure," which may be caused by swelling

It is not abnormal to be experiencing swelling and general discomfort one week after your surgery. The details of your surgery that you mentioned would not individually cause the feeling of pressure. The overall swelling in your nose and feeling of pressure following surgery is a cumulative result of the procedures that were performed. And tip work can generally create additional swelling that will result in a delay of the final result. I would recommend communicating any immediate post-operative concerns with your surgeon, as he/she knows the details of your procedure. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

It is not abnormal to be feeling some pressure on the nose one week after surgery. You are quite swollen, and it will take some time for the swelling to resolve. I would recommend discussing any immediate post-operative concerns with your surgeon, as he/she knows the extent of your procedure and exactly what was performed. I hope this helps, and good luck.

   Spreader grafts in the way described do widen the nose and may create a little more tension on the nasal skin with the increased width.  The main source of tension is due to the swelling at this early date.   Please contact your plastic surgeon for more specific information, as he or she is more familiar with you.

A pressure sensation after rhinoplasty is common. The nose will feel a bit strange for several weeks as it heals. Give it time.
