Did the shower damage my nose? 8 days post septorhinoplasty.

Question

About 8 days ago I had a septorhinoplasty procedure done. I got my cast and nose splints off on Tuesday. The swelling was apparent but not too bad when they romoved it. This morning I took a hot shower and cleaned my nose with facial cleanser gently. When I got out, there was a significant amount of more spelling all over my nose. I’m worried that I did permanent damage. Was I not suppose to take a hot shower? Or clean my nose? Thanks!!!

Thanks for the question. After a Rhinoplasty surgery you can take a shower after 5-7 days. Then after this 5-7 days you should care to the surgery area in the shower. I wish you all the best.

You should take warm showers. It increases the amount of swelling/edema. I advise you to get in touch with your surgeon. He might recommend you to massage your nose or wear medical tapes.
Hope this helps!
