How long after rhinoplasty can I wear a face mask?

October 26, 2020
Asked By:rhal22 in Orlando, Florida

I plan on having a rhinoplasty in the near future. Specifically, I’m having a columella strut graft (made from cadaver rib cartilage) placed in the tip of my nose to increase projection. When can I safely wear a face mask without compromising my results? Thanks.
