I have read some people have problems with the feeling of pressure in their ears after Rhinoplasty surgery. Is this common? What are the possible causes of this condition?
Answer: Normal and temporary The clogged ear sensation after a rhinoplasty or septoplasty is due to a temporary swelling in the back of the nose, which blocks the eustachian tube. This is normal and resolves in the first week or so after the rhinoplasty surgery.

Answer: Clogging of the ears after rhinoplasty Early post-op patients sometimes have the inability to "clear their ears." This may be due to packing in the nostrils or swelling of the Eustachian tubes. If it is the former, it will improve when the packing is removed. If it is the later, the swelling usually comes down in a few weeks after surgery.
