How many sinus rinses can I do in a day? 4 days post-op rhinoplasty.

Recovering from rhinoplasty is a healing process. Sinus rinses can help keep your nose clean as it heals.#1) You can do a rinse 2-3 times a day. #2) Low pressure is best. High pressure can cause ear discomfort.#3) Keep it clean. Be sure to use clean water and let the bottle dry completely. You don't want to introduce bacteria to your healing nose.Keep your follow-up appointments so your surgeon can keep you on track for a safe and happy result. Safety comes first.

Usually up to 3 times a day is plenty. As long as your surgeon wants you to be doing the rinses. Be sure to lean all the way over the sink looking down toward the drain. It should not be uncomfortable for your ears if your head is facing down far enough. Hope that helps!
