Is it okay to blow my nose after the rhinoplasty?

Just changing the shape of your nose can make your image look different.

So after eye surgery, many people consider the rhinoplasty.

As well as other cosmetic surgery, since the nose plays a big role in breathing, people often ask about various inconveniences during the recovery period after the rhinoplasty.

One of the most important questions is whether to blow the runny nose and how to deal with stuffy nose.

It is likely that you’ll feel stuffy because of swelling and runny nose.

Acute swelling takes about a week or two, and after about four weeks, it is easier to breathe and lose some swelling.

During this time, you should avoid drinking because alcohol in your blood can slow down your recovery and cause inflammation.

So abstaining from drinking for about four weeks is good for recovery.

Runny nose, one of the causes of congestion! It's so hard to swallow and hard to blow, and when you blow your nose, it puts pressure on your nose, and it can stimulates the surgical area, and it's really bad for the recovery. 

If you have a runny nose, you can wipe it gently or inhale it with your nose and spit it out with your mouth.

If you are so uncomfortable with a runny nose that is too hard to deal with, it is recommended that you visit the hospital where you are operated and take appropriate action, and do not do any other things that may irritate your nose at random.

It is important to ensure that no irritation, shock or pressure is applied to the nose for at least a month, even if you are not blowing or wiping your nose, and care must be taken if you have inserted a prosthesis, etc.

Since the nose is an important organ for breathing, it is not only about the cost and choosing a hospital, but through a plastic surgeon that has a high understanding of the experience and structure of the rhinoplasty which is a more stable way to get a better result and a faster recovery.
