Could discomfort/pressure in nose after revision rhinoplasty be result of grafts?

N
Nurturing334739Mar 23, 2024

6 months PO revision rhinoplasty where a septal extension graft, spreader grafts, rib grafts, etc were moved. My nose is long, overprojected, and grafts show through my skin. But above that, I have this intense pressure in my left sinus. It feels like a poking sensation. I sound conjested, my nose is constantly runny. Could this be a result of oversized/improperly placed grafts? I plan on getting an in person assessment as well.
