I'm 4 days post OP and all of a sudden today my nose has started to make this "farting noise" like bubbles trying to escape or a crackling noise. It has been constantly doing it, when I lie down it seems to get worse! Should I be worried?? Also sometimes it realeases random air like a quick fush!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Check with your surgeon before you start irrigation of the nose. Most likely you have thick mucous which always occurs with surgery of the nose.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Either your surgeon hooked up your gastrointestinal track to your nose, or you just have some thick mucous which needs to be cleared. That was a joke, by the way. I let my patients blow gently to clear some of this thick mucous, which always occurs with surgery of the nose. Check with your surgeon before going forward with a means of clearing the airways. A bedside humidifier can also be helpful.All the best,Talmage Raine MD
