You're going to have swelling for awhile, especially in the nostril they worked on the most or where they made the incision(s). your nose is a very sensitive area and your body sends that inflammation response because it sees the surgery as an irritation. sometimes stitches (even dissolvable ones) stick out after surgery, if they fail to dissolve the doctor will clip and remove them. You can mention your concerns with your surgeon for more specific information based on your case but I think you are probably going through the normal healing process
