Straining to go to the bathroom 5 days after Rhinoplasty?

Increased pressure may cause bleeding or hematoma in the early postoperative period, but it would be hard to know without an exam.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

It is unlikely that straining to go to the bathroom 5 days after rhinoplasty would affect the results of your septum or nose.  If you are taking pain medication, this can sometimes cause constipation, which can usually be treated.  Contact your surgeon if you feel you are constipated and he or she should be able to help.  

Straining in the bathroom after rhinoplasty is doubtful to cause deviation of the nose after your procedure. It could potentially cause bleeding if you strain to hard.
