When can i blow my nose after rhinoplasty?
Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya
- For approximately three to four weeks post rhinoplasty, you should avoid blowing your nose and/or sneezing.
- Blowing your nose too early during your recovery of rhinoplasty phase may cause bleeding and/or displace carefully positioned parts of the nose, thereby disrupting the intended result.
- You will undoubtedly experience some breathing obstruction for the first week after surgery, but be patient. Once the cast is removed, gently cleaning with salt water and blowing your nose will help you remove blood clots or mucus from your nose.
- You can certainly use a mist, salt spray, or water to help clear your nose. Doctors often suggest patients to inject Polysporin into the nostrils to soften blood clots.
- If you feel the need to unclog your nose, you can try saline irrigation or decongestants as prescribed by your doctor.
- Blowing the nose should generally not be a strong urge after rhinoplasty because the nasal passage is either narrow or completely blocked, and the resulting discomfort will discourage you from having this desire.

After a rhinoplasty, it is usually recommended to refrain from nose blowing for several weeks as the healing process can be disturbed. This can vary greatly depending on the surgical procedure itself and your individual healing timetable. It is necessary to follow the specific postoperative instructions of your plastic surgeon. They can give a tailored schedule when it is safe to return doing such activities as nose blowing. It is very important to have regular follow-up appointments so they can monitor your healing and ensure that you recover successfully.
