Should I trim my nose hair before a Rhinoplasty?

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.

I would ask your surgeon-I trim the nasal hairs as part of preparation for surgery in a very clean manner-this helps aid visualization during surgery.
