Open mouth sneezing after rhinoplasty. Can you damage rhinoplasty 8 days post op from sneezing through your mouth?

February 15, 2019
Asked By:Kristopher Monroe in New York, NY

I had cadaver cartilage used during the procedure and some reshaping of the bone. This AM, I sneezed hard through my mouth, and even though I didn't sneeze through my nose, I feel like something in my nose shifted. I could be imagining this, hard to tell because of the swelling. Dr also cleaned the inside of nose & removed cast yesterday . My question is, can you damage the result of rhinoplasty by sneezing through your mouth 8 days post-op? If so, why?
