Can nose blowing affect my results 2 weeks after rhinoplasty?

Every surgeon has different post operative restrictions and nose blowing can increased the pressure and cause a clot or scab to open up and lead to bleeding, potentially. It is important to maintain follow up with your board certified plastic surgeon so that she/he can examine you and see what the cause and treatment is. Head of bed elevation can also help with edema resolution. Best of luck, MMT

As other
doctors have noted, you can technically blow your nose (gently) about two weeks
after undergoing rhinoplasty, although I suggest that my patients for several
weeks before blowing their nose or using tissues, with four to six weeks being
the ideal length of time. If you blow your nose too soon after surgery, you may
risk tearing a scab, having tissue stuck within the nostrils, causing a blood
clot, or minimally causing some pain to your newly-refined nose. If you
absolutely must blow your nose, please do so gently and make sure that you do
not place anything within the nostrils (tissues, fingers, etc.), or else you may
inadvertently introduce harmful bacteria to the nose and cause an infection.
