🧼 How to Clean Your Nose After Rhinoplasty: A Gentle Guide for a Smooth Recovery 👃
Proper aftercare is crucial to ensure a smooth healing process and protect the delicate work done during your rhinoplasty. Cleaning your nose the right way helps prevent infection, minimizes swelling, and keeps you breathing easier. Here's how to do it — safely and gently.
🧴 Step 1: Use Saline Nasal Spray
Your surgeon will likely recommend a saline nasal spray or drops to keep the inside of your nose moist and promote healing.
✅ Use 2–3 times a day or as directed
✅ Gently spray into each nostril — don’t force it
✅ Use sterile, over-the-counter saline (your surgeon may provide one)
💡 Tip: Lean slightly forward while spraying to avoid discomfort.
🌊 Step 2: Consider Gentle Irrigation (If Advised)
If recommended by your surgeon, a neti pot or nasal rinse bottle can help flush out dried blood or mucus.
⚠️ Use only boiled, distilled, or sterile water
⚠️ Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully
🚫 Do not use tap water — it may cause infection
🚫 What to Avoid
To protect the healing nasal tissues:
🚫 No nose-blowing for at least the first week
🚫 No touching or picking inside your nose
🚫 Avoid harsh cleaning tools — like cotton swabs
🚫 No sniffing forcefully — this creates pressure
If necessary, your surgeon might suggest a gentle suction device to remove excess fluids — but only under guidance.
