Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Wiggling the nose after rhinoplasty should not cause any damage except in the case of alar base reduction (saw separation once).  However, at 14 days you should be OK.

Paul S. Nassif, MD · Answer

Not to worry, wiggling your nose did not do any damage. I would recommend speaking with your surgeon regarding any immediate post-operative concerns. He/she knows the extent of your surgery and exactly what was performed. I hope this helps, and good luck!

	Wiggling your nose should be fine.  As for the burning and stinging, you should discuss these concerns with your surgeon to make sure everything is progressing as expected.

Hi.

	Do not worry.  Wiggling the nose and sneezing happen all the time after rhinoplasty, and no harm is done.
