Answer: Nasal dressings and tape should not get wet while recovering from rhinoplasty. Since you're 5 days postoperative, you may still have your nasal dressing intact, and that should remain dry till it's removed by your surgeon. After that, you will be able to wash your face and neck with soap and water. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Answer: Can I wash My Nose in the Shower Five Days Post Rhinoplasty? It is always best to clear your surgeons post operative protocol. Generally speaking most patients have a plaster splint on for seven days and once this is removed you can gently let water run over your face and nose in the shower. (Not Hot) Use a gentle soap on your face and leave the incision to your surgeon to clean. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
