When can I blow my nose after nose surgery and nasal cleaning? Septorhinoplasty, turbinate reduction and perforation repair.

I had a septorhinoplasty, turbinate reduction and septal perforation repair. I am 9 days post op and had the stents and bandages removed yesterday. I could breathe great for like 12 hours but now I’m having to rely on mouth breathing because my nose is so scabby inside. The consultant has said just to use a saline rinse once a day but I feel that this just isn’t enough. I forgot to ask about blowing my nose, when would I be able to blow my nose without damaging the septal perforation repair?
