How Long to I Have to Wait to Kiss After a Rhinoplasty?

 It is certainly acceptable to kiss your  boyfriend any time after the nasal surgery has been performed. The first 6-8 weeks after a rhinoplasty the nasal tip is very  sensitive to touch and so do not be surprised if  you have pain in the tip of your nose if you rub the tip of it  or get bumped in the nose.

In general, I would say that 2 weeks would be a safe amount of time to wait before kissing after rhinoplasty.  However, I would recommend that you ask your surgeon your question, as he or she will have the most information in regards to your particular surgery and will be able to give you an answer tailored to your specific needs.  

One of the worst dissapointments for patient and surgeon after rhinoplasty is an accidental injury to the nose while it is weak and still healing after surgery. This usually happens when a companion, child or pet gets too close to the patient's face and bumps the nose. Kissing is just too risky after surgery for this reason. Wait at least 4weeks and be careful and gentle.
