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 Thank you for your question. I suggest that you discuss with your board certified facial plastic surgeon. Generally, patients should avoid blowing their nose for the first two weeks, however, if you must sneeze, do it with an open mouth in order to minimize the irritation to the healing nasal tissues.

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
