Yes - no problem: Iris, your nose can be tender 10 days after surgery. It's nothing to worry about unless it's worsening or there is some sign of an infection. From the way you describe your situation, it sounds like all is well. Enjoy your new appearance! jeff spiegel www.Drspiegel.Com.

Yes: Expect pain, pressure, and swelling for a few weeks. Swelling can actually take months to resolve. Be patient.

Pain and pressure: Intermittent pain and pressure of the nose after rhinoplasty is normal. Every passing week it should be less and less.
