Hi. I wanted to know if yawning may hurt my nose. I feel it is being stretched everytime I yawn and I have no control over it when I feel sleepy. Thanks.

Answer: 1.5 month after open rhinoplasty, could yawning hurt my nose? Yawning after rhinoplasty will not damage your nose. At only 1.5 months postop from rhinoplasty, your nose is still very swollen, which can create a tight sensation with certain facial movements such as yawning. There is not much you can do to prevent yourself from yawning anyway, so it would be best not to worry about it. I would recommend following up with your rhinoplasty surgeon to discuss your concerns. Good communication between patient and surgeon is very important both before and after surgery.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your inquiry, Post 1.5 month rhinoplasty your nose should still be a little swollen and sore. You are still healing. When yawning it is normal to feel a little stretch and pressure. Your nose is still very sensitive and you will feel it every time you yawn until it fully heals. I suggest you consult with your plastic surgeon and go for your follow up appointments in order to get a more thorough examination. Best Regards
