Frequently Asked Questions

What is the bad smell in my nose after a rhinoplasty?

During the first weeks after a rhinoplasty you may experience a bad smell in your nose. This is nothing to worry about. It is possible some self-absorbing suture has started to reabsorb or there is scab/crust that has not fallen.

Irrigations with saline solution in both nostrils as explained above, even several times a day will reduce this issue.

However, if you notice a purulent discharge or very green/dark mucus, it is necessary to consult with the medical team.
