I am wondering when I can start to breathe easier? I feel really stuffed up and am wondering how long the stuffy feeling is considered within normal range. Thanks!

Answer: How long your nose can feel "stuffed" It is usually normal to feel stuffy or congested in the nose even once the splints have been removed. Internal swelling and stuffiness largely resolves by around 4 to 6 weeks post surgery but it can take longer to fully resolve. You can use saline nose spray, such as FESS to clean the nasal airway. You should consult your treating doctor before using any nose sprays or treatments

Answer: Breathing Problem after Rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty should always be performed keeping in mind that breathing is the main function of the nose and should not be compromised for cosmetic reasons. Breathing problems however can occur temporarily after septoplasty and/or rhinoplasty,i and will usually resolve in 1-2 months maximum. Enlargement of the nasal conchea, specially after reduction of them 5-6 months after surgery is the most cause of relapsing breathing problems after rhinoplasty surgery.Proper cleaning and moisturizing the nasal lining is important after conchal and septal surgery. If the stuffing is not resolved in 1-2 months, one may consider visiting his/her rhinoplasty surgeon for further evaluation.

Answer: Nasal congestion after rhinoplasty... The entire inside of the nose swells up after rhinoplasty. While the swelling starts to go down when the cast is removed, it can take two months to fully heal on the inside of the nose. It may even take a bit longer for all the swelling to go down. Be sure to keep your surgeon informed of your issues.

Answer: Stuffiness Post Rhinoplasty Hi there. Post rhinoplasty, you may experience some discomfort with breathing. Swollen nasal tissues may cause your nose to feel "stuffed up" and this can last for several weeks following surgery.

Answer: Various degrees of nasal congestion may occur during the first month after rhinoplasty surgery. Postoperative nasal obstruction is present in most during the first week after rhinoplasty, and many get significant relief the day their dressing is removed, one week postoperative. Lingering congestion may be from both internal and external nasal swelling, and is typically transient.Hope this helps.Dr Joseph
