The answer to this question is – yes. In fact, it is the rule of thumb that rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty patients will experience some degree of numbness and/or tingling of their nose for upwards of several months following surgery. Usually the heralding sign of normal return of sensation is pings of pain that some rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty patients note. The good news is that pain sensations are fairly blunted early on due to the numbness.
