I started getting pain behind my eyes a week after rhinoplasty...normal? for how long?
Answer: Pain behing eyes one week after rhinoplasty may indicate a problem!
Depending on how much internal work was done at the time of your rhinoplasty (was it primarily cosmetic, reconstructive/breathing, or both?) this likely represent mucosal swelling that has blocked one or more openings to your sinuses. Typically this would be on one side or another, but it could be both.
Do NOT self-treat; go see your surgeon. You may need a decongestant, antibiotic, and/or steroid/anti-inflammatory medication. Let your surgeon make this recommendation. If you have a fever, see your surgeon ASAP! Do NOT blow your nose!

Answer: Pain behind eyes
New eye pain is not usual 1 wk after rhinoplasty. Your pain should be getting better, not worse and usually most discomfort is resolved by the first week. I would recommend going back to your surgeon for evaulation

Answer: Pain behind the eyes
Contact your surgeon ASAP.
This is not one of the usual complains that patients have after rhinoplasty, especially if it started 1 week after surgery.

Answer: Pain behind eyes after rhinoplasty
While it may just be due to fluid building up in the sinuses, I would recommend going to see your surgeon as soon as you can for an examination.
