🤧 Can You Sniff After Rhinoplasty? Here's Why You Should Be Careful
After undergoing rhinoplasty, your nose is in a fragile and healing state. While it might be tempting to sniff, especially if you're feeling congested, it's important to understand why doing so can interfere with recovery.
🛑 Why Sniffing Is Not Recommended
Post-surgery, your nasal tissues and bones are swollen and sensitive. Your surgeon may place internal packing or splints to control bleeding and support your healing nose. Here's what forceful sniffing or blowing your nose can cause:
🚫 Disruption of healing tissues
🚫 Increased risk of bleeding
🚫 Pain and pressure buildup
🚫 Possible infection
🚫 Delayed recovery
Even gentle sniffing can create pressure in the nasal cavity — so it’s best to avoid it for at least 7–10 days, or as long as your surgeon advises.
💧 How to Keep Your Nose Clear Safely
Instead of sniffing or blowing, your surgeon may recommend:
🌿 Saline sprays to gently keep nasal passages moist
🌊 A neti pot (when approved) for delicate rinsing
💤 Sleeping with your head elevated to reduce swelling and drainage buildup
Let gravity and moisture help — not pressure.
