Can I drink from a straw after Rhinoplasty?

February 1, 2016
Asked By:ficullen in New York, NY

I had a rhinoseptoplasty 5 days ago, and in order not to bump my nose drinking, I'v easily used a straw up to now, but I'v just read that many doctors say to avoid it, while other doctors as well say it's perfectly , what's the truth?If it's wrong, does that mean it could affect the shape of my nose?i'm a bit worried, thanks
