Runny nose after rhinoplasty.

Question

I had my rhinoplasty only 6 days ago. I know this is very recent but when will the uncontrollable runny nose stop?

Tanveer Janjua, MD · Answer

It is common to have runny nose after rhinoplasty as the nose mucosa responds to the trauma of surgery. It will get better over a period of 2 to 3 weeks. During this time using saline spray to keep it moist helps. RegardsDr. J

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.

It is normal to have a runny nose after rhinoplasty and using a nasal saline rinse or spray may be helpful for this.

Robert L. Kraft, MD, FACS · Answer

This is a very common situation immediately post op.  Use a nasal spray such as Ayr, which is basically distilled water, to keep the area moist and blow softly if possible.  It’s annoying but temporary.
