Its been a year and 3 months since my rhinoplasty and my nose feels dry often . I have to constantly clean it with a q-tip to clean out the dried mucus. I feel like I have to blow my nose due to the feeling of my nose feeling blocked. During, cold weather it gets runny and when I cry my nose produces a lot of mucus making it hard to breathe. I feel like my nasal airways are blocked and feel relief once I use a q-tip to remove crusting in nose. Will this improve with time ?
I am considering a rhinoplasty to get nostril reduction, tip de-rotation, thinning on nose bridge and bulbous tip reduction. How long after the procedure will I be able to : 1) Blow my nose 2) Wear a VR headset 3) Get a facial 4) Eat spicy and crunchy food 5) Fly in a plane 6) Get a nose piercing 7) Make love 8) Kiss
Hi I had tip (and a little bit lower nasal portion grafting between the holes just for balance) rhinoplasty. My surgeon told me not to blow, but rinse with salt water. I have sometimes blown the nose, as it helped me clear it, in addition to the salt water, and had no major bleeding or strong pain from it. But, could I have ruined the results ? I am a bit afraid. Best.
I had a septorhinoplasty, turbinate reduction and septal perforation repair. I am 9 days post op and had the stents and bandages removed yesterday. I could breathe great for like 12 hours but now Im having to rely on mouth breathing because my nose is so scabby inside. The consultant has said just to use a saline rinse once a day but I feel that this just isnt enough. I forgot to ask about blowing my nose, when would I be able to blow my nose without damaging the septal perforation repair?
Ever since I had my nose done the mucus build up in my nose has been pretty bad. When I blow my nose it helps a lot but I have to use q-tips to remove most of the mucus from my nose, is blowing my nose and using q-tips in my nose damaging my final results?
I have panic attacks/anxiety disorder and everytime I get colds, I have a hard time not blowing my nose constantly cuz I hate the feeling of not being able to breathe! This is what is causing me to not want to get the surgery done because I'm afraid of the feeling of not being able to breathe after. Is there anyway that a surgeon can make it so i can be able to breathe through my nostrils without too much swelling/congestion? I want to remove the bump and slightly reshape the tip of my nose.
When using a saline nasal spray do you breathe it in or do you squirt in a few drops after a nose job ? I am not clear on how to use the spray knowing you shouldnt be blowing your nose or doing heavy sniffling. I am on day 2 post op.
