I had been dreaming of a new nose since I was 13 and finally I got it 29 days ago. I am extremely concerned of damaging my nose so I literally don't do anything that may harm it. My question is, can I start going to crowded places, drinking, doing gestures completely and almost everything? If not how long should I wait more? My school is starting in a couple days so I really want to know what I should avoid from? Thank you so much.

Answer: When can you resume life after rhinoplasty?
Thank you for the question.
Generally, postoperative care facilities and/or private nursing can be arranged for patients. Ask your chosen surgeon about options available through his/her office.
Best wishes.
The blood on your pillow may, in fact, not be directly related to the rhinoplasty surgery at all. It may be a result of dryness inside your nose, with bleeding from the dry mucous membranes. This frequently happens in the winter time, when the heat is on at night time.
This can be prevented...
I have personally not had patients with long term issues from this but I also know that many surgeons don't do this if they get enough tip support with columellar strut grafts.
