Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep my nose clean after a rhinoplasty?
Clean your nostrils with saline solution whenever you need. Nasal irrigation with saline solution will help to keep your nasal passages clean and moist, while also reducing nasal congestion.
You can use a syringe or squeeze bottle to squirt the solution up your nostrils. If the water runs into the back of your throat, then simply spit it out. It is fine to accidentally swallow the solution as it is harmless.
The scabs can be softened by applying a cotton swab soaked in hydrogen peroxide or warm water.
