Answer: Cleaning Nose after Rhinoplasty Dear ficullen, I would confirm with your operating surgeon what their recommendations are, but in our office we have patients clean their nose with a Q tip and half strength hydrogen peroxide a few times a day, and then follow up with bacitracin on the inside as well. Once patients are 3 days post op, they can start to use saline nasal spray to passively moisten the inside of their nose. This helps to loosen the nasal secretions without blowing your nose or inserting a Q tip too far into the nostrils. I hope this helps!

Answer: Aspiration of the nose after rhinoplasty is probably okay. I don't see a problem with what you're proposing. However, consent needs to come only from your own surgeon. Liberal use of nasal spray to irrigate out the area will permit evacuation through the back of the mouth.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and mucous Best to ask your surgeon what he prefers. If you were my patient and you no longer had the nasal splint( like 1 wk out), I allow patients to gently clean their nose with a q-tip after showering. Good luck.
