How long after a rhinoplasty is it safe to use fluticosone nasal spray for allergies?
Answer: Nasal Spray After Rhinoplasty
The role of nasal spray after surgery is important. I would minimize the use of anything other than a saline nasal spray and occasionally one can use an Afrin type spray to use for decompression if one will be flying during the first 4-6 week post nasal surgery. Steroid nasal sprays should be avoided for 4-6 weeks especially if one has had any type of septal work done.

Answer: I allow my patients to resume nasal-steroid sprays around 3 weeks after Rhinoplasty Surgery.
If my patient for Rhinoplasty Surgery has nasal obstruction before surgery, then I will usually address this during surgery. I may routinely perform septoplasty and turbinate reduction at the time of Rhinoplasty to improve the nasal airway. Most of my patients will not require any nasal sprays after Rhinoplasty, but if they're necessary, I would allow usage around 3 weeks after Rhinoplasty.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Answer: Nasal steroid usage after rhinoplasty
I typically recommend to my patients to wait about three weeks after they have their septum operated on with their rhinoplasty before using flonase. Sometimes I will allow them to use it after two weeks if they are just having a rhinoplasty. The only real harm is that if you use it too soon it can cause more drying out of your healing nose and possibly lead to some nosebleeds. I hope this information helps.

Answer: Three weeks for resuming nasal steroids after nose job but discuss with your surgeon prior to commencing
Depending on the complexity of the procedure, previous surgeries, status of the lining of the nose, use of grafts, etc, I generally advise my patients to wait at least 3 weeks before resuming decongestants and nasal steroids. However, this is not fixed in stone and I would discuss your unique situation with your surgeon.
