Can heavy coughing and laughter ruin a rhinoplasty?

January 10, 2018
Asked By:DerrickS in Buena Park, California

I am currently 3 weeks post op and have come down with a cold. It has caused me to cough A LOT and even though I try to suppress it as much as possible, sometimes I just have violent coughs. My nose never hurts post cough attack and only feels mildly stretched/agitated while coughing. I also laugh a lot as well, and sometimes I laugh so much that I really feel my nose stretching which leads me to beg the question: Can coughing or laughing cause any damage or negative alterations to a nosejob?
