"Addicted" to sinus rinse after rhinoplasty?

Sinus rinses and nasal saline can be helpful in a recently operated nose to help eliminate crusts.  Noses like humid environment, so use of nasal saline is not harmful for the nose.  Be careful with blowing your nose too aggressively and make sure you have your surgeon's permission as too aggressive nose blowing can damage the lining of your nose.

that's a great question. It is not uncommon to have a sensation of nasal congestion after rhinoplasty. It's possible that you had some underlying preoperative nasal allergies that were untreated that only came to light after you knows words narrowed postoperatively .. I recommend discussing this with your surgeon and seeing if you need to be treated for rhinitis.
