Itching after rhinoplasty

Many of the small nerves in your nose are irritated after surgery. The sensation of itching will pass, but until it does you may want to try oral banadryl.....

Itching Nasal Sensation After Rhinoplasty

Dear Lindsay, Feeling the urge to scratch your inner nose due to itching sensation is not uncommon after a surgery.I understand that it is irritating but it will pass. If you can handle the sensation then nature will take its course and the itching sensation will fade. That being said, Benadryl may be of help to you but I recommend that you consult with your surgeon before you take it. Thank you for inquiry and the best of luck to you. Dr. Sajjadian
