Timeline for heavy making out/kissing after rhinoplasty?

luvluvJul 1, 2017
When can you kiss someone more um... aggressively - after rhinoplasty? Right now I can hardly move my upper lip and can not breathe out of my nose which has made it very difficult/impossible. When will this become possible/easier again and when is it safe without damaging the result?

Hello,Excessive facial movement can in fact make the nose swell more and possibly alter it. I would refrain from lifting heavy items until after 6 weeks from your initial surgery. Normal activities like sleeping, yawning, and laughing cannot distort your nose. If you are experiencing any pain, ...

Hello, One year is generally when you can see the finished nose without swelling. I suggest waiting to see the finished product of the nose before searching for a revision or a non surgical procedure. A filler will also not lengthen your nose, but can increase the size of it. All the be...
