How long after rhinoplasty can I wear a P2/N95 mask?

Question

I would like rhinoplasty to reduce the hump on the bridge of my nose. For work I am required to wear P2/N95 masks for most of the day. This requires a bit of pressure to mould the mask over the nose to create an effective seal. How long after rhinoplasty can I put pressure on the bridge of my nose?

That decision should be made by your surgeon. But I think two weeks should be enough. Your surgeon may recommend taping your nose after surgery to protect it

Hello and greetings from Turkey. Since the P2/N95 masks make a pressure on the tip of the nose, I suggest my patients to use the masks after 6 months from rhinoplasty operation. You can use regular mask and face shield until the healing process is completed.
