Should I trim my nose hair before a Rhinoplasty?

It is best to let your surgeon handle the trimming at the time of surgery. It is quick and simple in the operating room.  Sometimes it is not necessary. 

I recommend that my patients never cut their nose hair before rhinoplasty. Their are many different kinds of bacteria that  surround the bottom of the nasal hairs and when these hairs are cut, sometimes these bacteria can get into the local skin and infect the nose. Not a good idea before a rhinoplasty.
