Would I be able to rub my nose vigorously after having had rhinoplasty?

February 5, 2014
Asked By:PixmaBelkin

I'm interested in having rhinoplasty done on my nose; however, I have severe allergies and at time my nose itches so badly that I rub it vigorously with the palm of my hand. Would doing something like this be a "no, no" after having rhinoplasty? I'm talking about days, weeks, months after having rhinoplasty. I'm talking years and years later. Will my nose remain easily injured indefinitely?
