Answer: Recovering from Rhinoplasty: stuffy nose Recovering from Rhinoplasty is a healing process. Part of that process is waiting for swelling to go down on the outside and on the inside of your nose. Swelling inside your nose gives you that stuffy sensation. Keeping your head up, drink plenty of water, and saline sprays can help. Also, avoid salty food, exercise, and direct heat/sun. You'll see the majority of swelling go down in the first 6-8 weeks; however, there will be flares of swelling throughout the year. Be patient and don't rush the healing process for a safe and happy result. Safety comes first!

Answer: Stuffy nose 10 days after rhinoplasty very common It is normal to feel very stuffy for the first 2-3 weeks following rhinoplasty and mildy stuffy for 2-3 months. Many changes will occur over the course of the first year following rhinoplasty and the congestion should subside after 2-3 months. Using saline spray a few times a day can help alleviate some of the discomfort during the first few months. Stay patient as you are still very early in the healing process.
