Is it safe to use nasal allergy spray after a Rhinoplasty?

L
luvluvMar 12, 2018

Allergy season seems to now be fully in effect. So I was wondering if it is safe to use a nasal allergy spray such as Nasacort, Nasonex, etc after rhinoplasty. Could the formula of the medicine damage the structures inside the nose somehow? Is it better to just stick to Clairitin D or Zyrtec? Thanks! :) (I am 9 months post rhinoplasty)

Hi. I think your nose looks pretty good, still some swelling over the tip.  Tip might point to your right slightly which could probably be improved with fillers at some point if you want.  In terms of facial symmetry, I think your left cheek is a little less full and so a little filler in the l...

Hi and thanks for the question and photos. At 5 weeks, there is certainly still quite a bit of swelling in the nose. This is especially true in the supratip, the area above the tip. This swelling can cause a “pollybeak” shape on profile view. Ask your surgeon about a Kenalog (ste...
