Asked By:rhinoplastygal22 in Austin, TX

I had a rhinoplasty to fix dorsal hump and bulbous tip about 5 days ago. still have my cast and everything on. I keep waking up in the middle of the night to myself subconsciously blowing my nose.I always have allergies and I guess I always blow my nose in my sleep to free my nasal passages.. The nurse told me not to blow my nose after surgery but I keep waking up myself doing this and am worried that it will ruin my overall result? I wasn't blowing hard just short soft blows to clear passages
