How does nose blowing affect rhinoplasty? Would it have some affect on the way the shape will turn out? I'm 2 weeks post-op, and blew it a few times- not hard though. The first time I blew it was, I think 9th or 10 day post-op. Now that I have been reading answers on this site I am worried I have damaged my nose and have affected my results in a bad way, and I mean by the way it will initially take its final shape.

Answer: Blowing your nose after rhinoplasty surgery
Blowing your nose in a careful and gentle fashion is permissible after most rhinoplasty surgerys once any packing that may have been placed was removed. The most common problem that may arise from nose blowing after rhinoplasty surgery is postoperative bleeding. Unless you are vigorous or wipe too hard, it is unlikely that any longterm damage will be done. You should definitely discuss this with your surgeon though, because every rhinoplasty is slightly different and there may be cause for concern depending on the fragility of the repair.

Answer: Sneezing and nose blowing after rhinoplasty
Typically, there should be no harm in blowing your nose or sneezing after a rhinoplasty procedure unless you rub your nose very hard. The biggest risk is bleeding which could be an issue but after two weeks even this is unlikely.
