I had the surgery over 15 years ago, and I remember my doctor saying something about nasal strips, but I can't remember if he said never to use them or to wait a while.

Answer: Breathe Right Strips and Rhinoplasty At this point, 15 years after your surgery, it is fine to use breathe right strips to help with any nasal obstruction. However, if you are having nasal obstruction then you might have developed an external valve collapse, which is what the breathe right strips are designed to temporarily fix. I would consult with a local facial plastic surgeon to see if other treatment options are possible.

Answer: Breathe right strips after rhinoplasty... Yes...this should be no concern at all at this stage. The real question is why you still need breathe right strips following nasal surgery. Seek out the consultation of a facial plastic surgeon or ENT who can evaluate your potential need for nasal valve augmentation to surgically improve your airway. Rhinoplasty should be functional as much as aesthetic.
