Why does my nose keep popping/clicking after rhinoplasty?

eponazeldaOct 12, 2021
No grafts were used during the procedure. My hump was removed, my nasal bones were broken in order to close the open triangle roof after removing the hump, and the tip was rotated and de-projected. Now, 8 months later, my nose has been clicking/popping since day 1 after surgery. It click/pops about 5 times per day. No pain is associated with the clicking. I can't figure out where it's coming from, as the location of it keeps changing. I think it's coming from anywhere along my septum. Any ideas?

Other factors such as trauma can play a role. But if you’ve had no trauma your nose simply developed this way g...
