Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on how to clean your nose after rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to avoid any damage to the delicate nasal tissues and bones and to promote proper healing.
In most cases, your surgeon will recommend using saline nasal sprays or drops to help moisten the nasal passages and promote healing. These can be purchased over the counter at most pharmacies or provided by your surgeon. You will likely be instructed to use the saline spray or drops several times a day, following a specific technique for spraying or instilling the solution into your nose.
Your surgeon may also recommend using a neti pot or other nasal irrigation device to help flush out any debris or mucus from the nasal passages. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and to use only sterile, distilled, or boiled water to avoid the risk of infection.
In most cases, you should avoid blowing your nose for the first few days after surgery to avoid disrupting the healing process or causing bleeding. Your surgeon may also recommend using a nasal aspirator or other suction device to gently remove any excess mucus or blood from your nose.
If you have any questions or concerns about how to clean your nose after rhinoplasty, be sure to contact your surgeon for guidance. By following your surgeon's instructions carefully and staying in close communication with them during your recovery, you can help ensure a smooth and successful outcome from your rhinoplasty surgery.
