Going to the Bathroom After Rhinoplasty

Your surgical results will not be adversly effected, however, the recommendations for your fiber intake will ; )

Hi Long,

No shit!  Straining at your bowels one month after rhinoplasty will not affect your nose, but you may blow a few hemorrhoids.  Best to consider more fiber in the ol' diet, and/or stool softeners. Good luck and be well.

You should have no effect from straining in the bathroom.  Unless there was a lot of bleeding from your nose I would not worry about it.  If you think there was a change after this happened, contact your plastic surgeon. Congrats on your new nose.

Straining in the bathroom one month after having a rhinoplasty should not impact your results.  Some patients early on may get nose bleeds with straining, but you should be ok at this point.

Don't worry - it's unlikely you injured your surgical site by straining.  As long as you don't have direct trauma or pressure to your nose, your rhinoplasty results are unlikely to be affected.
