Thumbsucking after Septorhinoplasty
The only potential way this could have an effect would be if alar base reduction was performed and downward motion at the suture line caused separation. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Thumb sucking post-rhinoplasty--good or bad?
An interesting question. As long as your fingers/hand do not touch your nose, and your lip motion is not excessive, it should not affect your result.

Thumbsucking should not affect the nose or the outcome of a rhinoplasty/septoplasty operation, but may affect your thumb and teeth :)

Thumb sucking and rhinoplasty
Thumb sucking should not impact the result of your rhino/septoplasty. Why would you think it would?

No
Thumb sucking will not change the rhinoplasty results unless you accidentally bump your nose.

Thumb sucking after rhinoplasty
Thumbsucking will not effect the rhinoplasty. However, your fist can hit the nose easily when you are sucking your thumb. Also, be very careful, if you touch your nose after you have sucked your thumb you can transfer mouth (oral) germs to the nose and cause an infection.

Dear Lillith,
Sucking your thumb will not affect your outcome unless your hand bumps into your nose while you are sleeping
