How to clean nose post rhinoplasty

It is always best to check with your surgeon if you have any questions as each surgeon has a different protocol.  I usually have patients clean the inside of the nose with a Q-tip using either water or hydrogen peroxide.  The bump may be swelling or may be dried blood.  If it is dried blood, the hydrogen peroxide will dissolve it.  I think yawning is fine.  If you need to sneeze, try to sneeze through your mouth.  Good luck!

Hi Nisha,Yes you are right.You should clean your nose using cotton buds with normal saline.You can also use saline spray inside the nose 6 hourly to avoid crusting.The bumps, irregularity and asymmetry that you feel are normal and natural to this surgery.Some of them is caused by Suture lines and knots and dried up crusts.I normally tell my patients to paint betadine solution inside after the cleaning once a day.I wish you good luck.
