How Long Will It Take for Dryness to Go Away in my Nose After Rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Rose2898

Hello, I am currently 7 days post-op rhinoplasty and I have I horrible dry sensation inside my nostrils, more so in the front. At first, I thought dry blood and scabs were causing this but after I cleaned my nose with a saline spray and removed all of the blood, it still felt dry and stiff! I am currently still wearing the drip pad because the dry air really irritates it even more. So, I was just wondering how long I can expect to have this crusty/dry feeling? Thank you so much!
