Is gargling after rhinoplasty okay to do?

Hi I am so used to gargling after brushing my teeth that I did it without thinking the day after my rhinoplasty. Would this have any adverse effect on the nasal bone or the nostrils, which were repaired?

It's one of those things that makes perfect mechanical sense when you think about it, but when you actually try it, it doesn't work. The problem is that the cartilages in the tip of the nose are trying to hold the tip down, and they are very strong, and if they are not changed, they will ...

Hello,Although you aren't a candidate for systemic cortisone, local injection would not affect your lens. Regardless, it would not help you, nor would massage, ultrasound, or hyperbaric O2. Your septum is too short and underprojecting, and your tip cartilage complex lacks structural integrity,...
