Can I have a nasal endoscopy performed 5 months post Rhinoplasty? Will this cause any damage to my nose or cause swelling, etc.?

Question

Adam Bryce Weinfeld, MD · Answer

Your nose should be mostly healed 5 months following surgery so it is unlikely to cause permanent damage.  It is possible the procedure can irritate the nose and cause temporary increased swelling. However, I recommend you discuss this with your surgeon prior to proceeding.

It is safe to undergo nasal endoscopy a few months after rhinoplasty.  It will not cause any damage to the nasal structures as it only visualizes the inside.RegardsDr. J

It should not be a problem to undergo a nasal endoscopy 5 months after a rhinoplasty. Best of luck..

Robert S. Schmidt, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. Check with your surgeon, but it shouldn't be a problem to have nasal endoscopy that far out from a rhinoplasty. For my patients that get a rhinoplasty at the same time as sinus surgery, we routinely do nasal endoscopy for them in the first few weeks following surgery to check how their sinuses are healing. So I can't imagine it would be an issue, but check with your surgeon to make sure.
