Will talking after rhinoplasty affect my results?

Dear Herecomesthesun07,  Talking or facial expressions will not affect your rhinoplasty results. Good luck. Dr. Gervais.

Dear herecomesthesun07,Thank you for your question. I usually tell my patients to talk and laugh minimally during the first 48 hours post-operatively and  for the first few weeks to just take it easy. The best thing to do for swelling is to stay in an upright position as swelling dissipates with gravity. However, if you are having concerns, I suggest following up with your operating surgeon to see what their specific recommendations are for you. Best of luck to you!

I always believe that it is important to keep a stiff upper lip during rhinoplasty recovery.  This allows that attachments to the lower septum to not be disrupted potentially leading to tip drop (ptosis).I hope that this helps
