Will Touching my Nose and Nostrils After Rhinoplasty Affect my Final Results?

I would highly recommend that you avoid doing so unless specifically instructed by your rhinoplasty surgeon. 

Dear Rose,

 

JUST touching your nose GENTLY after your surgery should NOT be an issue.

That said, excessive touching leading to excessive pressure on your nose could be potentially damaging.

So to decrease any possible risks, I would encourage you to have a better control over touching your nose. After all, you need the best uninterrupted recovery possible.

However, if you are experiencing any given discomfort that is leading to your recent activity (touching your nose often) then it is of your best interest to have your surgeon examine you.

Thank you for your inquiry and the best of luck to you.

Just simply touching your nose frequently since your rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago shouldn't impact the results. However, you shouldn't be probing, applying pressure, etc. unless okayed by your surgeon as these maneuvers could have untoward consequences.
