Post Operative Question Answer

When can I blow my nose or engage in activities that may put pressure on the nose?

After rhinoplasty, it is crucial to avoid blowing your nose or engaging in activities that may apply excessive pressure to the nose for several weeks. This is because the delicate structures of the nose need time to heal and stabilize. Your surgeon will provide you with specific guidelines regarding when it is safe to resume these activities, typically after the initial healing period of about 1 to 2 weeks. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s instructions to ensure optimal healing and minimize the risk of complications. During your post-operative appointments, your surgeon will assess your progress and provide guidance on when it is appropriate to resume activities that may put pressure on the nose.
