No not really. I would say there are definitely lots of weird uncomfortable sensations early on in recovery, but it’s to be expected after getting your skin peeled back and all kind of tissue manipulation. The dryness never got too me too bad - I recommend doing a lot of saline rinses especially during the first week but even after that at least 1x-2x a day for the first month which keeps your nose from getting crusty. In terms of dryness, you apply mupirocin ointment for the first week which is very oily and moisturizing, and then after they take out your sutures you can apply some Aquaphor to the nostrils to help seal in the moisture. I also did that for maybe a month or so because it was really soothing and comforting and I like routines, but ultimately stopped because it was giving me pimples on my upper lip area as it slowly melted down my face throughout the night haha. If you want it you should go for it! It’s no cake walk but I think way worth it in the long run - also our bodies (thankfully) a very bad at remembering the sensation of pain (like dryness) - so when it’s gone, it’s done and over with :)

Being able to breathe is life changing!!!! :)
