Nose stitches are hurting me two weeks after rhinoplasty. Is that normal?

jasmine nJun 17, 2017
I didn't feel any pain through the last two weeks until now. I also returned to work after 10 days and for the last 5 days I have been working so hard (i work in retail). My doctor said work won't affect my nose anymore but can hard work cause more pain? Im thinking to rest for a couple of days. My doctor did not prescribe anything for my nose stitches. He said I'm recovering very well.

Every plastic surgeon's recommendations are different. Typically 6 weeks is recommended to allow for knitting of the bones that are broken by the surgeon. I would check with your surgeon however to be safe.

That’s totally normal after rhinoplasty. You should ask your surgeon to show you how to tape your nose at night. It’s very helpful to reduce swelling. There are tutorials of taping the nose on you tube but only do it if your surgeon agreees
