Sneezing after rhinoplasty
Hi Jenna,
More than likely no damage was done. However, if you suffer from seasonal allergies, I would recommend taking an antihistamine to minimize future 'blow-outs'. Also, remember to open your mouth when you feel one coming so the pressure is not so great. Best wishes, Dr. H

Sneeze
Uaually a sneeze will not distor a new rhinoplasty. I tell my patients to sneeze with their mouth wide open to take the pressure off

Sometime these things just happen and don't often cause problems other than occasional bleeding. The key is to try to sneeze out through your mouth.
Best of luck,

Sneezing after rhinoplasty
Dear Jenna
The occasional sneeze after a rhinoplasty will not be a problem
you may get a headache and some drainage.
you can try to open your mouth when coughing and sneezing to limit the pressure you send up your nose.
I hope your healing period is going well otherwise.
Best Wishes, Dr. T

Not sure but you should call and ask your Rhinoplasty surgeon for specific post Rhinoplasty instructions and advice.
