When I laugh or yawn it feel like something is ripping apart inside my nose.

I'm 6 weeks post op from an open septorhinoplasty. When I smile or yawn it feels like something is ripping/pulling inside my right nostril. I thought this would be gone by now (I don't recall it during my original rhinoplasty). It's quite painful and I'm worried I'm ruining something in my nose. Is this normal at this stage post op?
