Will throwing up damage the nose cartilage structure created after a rhinoplasty?

Hello,

It is not likely that it going to affect your nose because the lining in your nose is separate.

Infrequently, people may be nauseated after rhinoplasty surgery and vomiting ma occur. This does not affect somebody's final result in our 25 year experience. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. It is certainly advisable not to intentionally try to vomit after rhinoplasty. The increased pressure can also increase swelling in the nose. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
