Do you have to keep your nostrils clean of any dry blood after rhinoplasty?

Hello!Please consults with your doctor to see what he suggests. I typically recommend using hydrogen peroxide with a clean Q- tip on the inside of the nose. Use this sparingly as peroxide can dry your nose. You can also dilute peroxide with water if you prefer something more gentle but still effective.Best of Luck! 

The maneuver we suggest for our rhinoplasty patients is to moisten the tip of a QTip with peroxide, then hold it with your thumb and index finger, insert into your nostril to the end of the cotton tip, and twirl it like a baton. If full strength peroxide stings, you can try half strength by diluting with tap water. Hope this helps, and happy recovery! Dr Joseph

I think that you have to ask your surgeon what he recommends for post-op care. I will often allow patients to gently clean their nose after one week using a cotton swab after they shower...
