John M. Hilinski, MD · Answer

Sophie, the sensations you note are quite normal for this type of surgical healing. You will likely experience similar sensations for several more months.

It is perfectly normal to have slight pain 3 months after rhinoplasty - with every passing month the pain should get less intense and less frequent

Scott Trimas, MD · Answer

Mild pain and numbness is not uncommon after a rhinoplasty procedure and may be even more common after a revision procedure. Increasing pain, abnormal swelling or drainage would be more serious concerns.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

It is not uncommon to have occasional discomfort in the nose even a few months after surgery.  If you are very concerned, then you should probably see your surgeon.
