Blowing Nose After Rhinoplasty?

Light nasal blowing may be considered around one week following rhinoplasty surgery, unless your surgeon makes a restriction for you. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

It really depends on the specifics of the surgery.  Listen to your surgeon's aftercare advise.  Having said that, in general, I advise my patients that they can start blowing their nose gently with no twisting at 2 weeks.  You can use saline nasal spray to wash out any mucous, secretions, crusts, etc in the interim between surgery and 2 weeks.

                  It’s
not unusual for patients to have nasal congestion following rhinoplasty. This
is often secondary to swelling with crusting and scabbing within the nasal
passage. When this occurs, patients have an irresistible
urge to blow their nose.

                  We
generally, recommend that patients avoid blowing their nose for at least two
weeks following routine rhinoplasty and four to six weeks following
septoplasty.

                  When
patients blow their noses in the early post-operative period, they can
potentially damage the nasal mucous and cause bleeding. For this reason, we
generally recommend nasal saline irrigations in the immediate post-operative
period.
