Can you breathe through the nose right after surgery?

December 24, 2014
Asked By:Kimi11 in Laval, QC

I have had two surgeries under general anesthesia, and I know the feeling when waiking up (For me I felt confused). I'm planning on having rhinoplasty surgery this coming year and my question is, when waiking up from anesthesia will I be able to breathe through my mouth?. This is what makes me really nervous, not knowing how I will feel if I can't breaht through my mouth, is there something my doctor can do to help me? I have a consultation in 2 weeks and will also ask this question, Thank you
