It is a simple matter for your surgeon to look in your nose and see if there is any obstruction.  Make an appointment and let him handle it.

If you feel something in yorur nose and you pulled out suture, you  may want to be evaluated by your surgeonto make sure everything is ok.

Occasionally a suture may cause this problem. See your surgeon who can take a look inside.

It is always a good idea to return to your surgeon for followup after Cosmetic Plastic Surgeries.  If you feel something unusual in your nose, it is a good idea to see if there is something he/she needs to take care of.

I'm sorry, but I cannot see the inside of your nose on my screen. I suggest that you call your surgeon for an appointment to examine you. The good news is that you are "happy with the nose job".
