Breathing through your nose after rhinoplasty will depend on the specifics of your procedure and your surgeon's recommendations. In the first few days after the surgery, you may have difficulty breathing through your nose due to swelling and congestion. This is a normal part of the healing process, and your surgeon may recommend using saline nasal sprays or other remedies to help ease the congestion.
As the swelling and healing progress, you may gradually be able to breathe through your nose more easily. However, it is important to avoid any actions that create pressure inside the nasal cavity, such as blowing your nose or sniffing forcefully, as these can disrupt the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions for post-operative care, including when and how to breathe through your nose. Be sure to follow these instructions carefully and to ask your surgeon any questions you may have about post-operative care and recovery.
