Nose Bridge Painful After Rhinoplasty

February 24, 2009
Asked By:caitlin in miami, fl

I had rhinoplasty to correct a hump on my bridge, rotate the tip, and define it better. This was in December. It's now the end of February and my tip is still big. Also, I'm concerned, because when I move my eyebrows up, my bridge hurts a bit, but not when I touch it. Is that bad or is it normal for the bridge to be tender when making certain facial expressions? And is it normal for the tip to look so round now, especially in photographs? Thank you! Please help!
