Can I touch my nose 2 weeks after rhinoplasty?
It’s only natural that patients get curious about how their nose looks and feels like after rhinoplasty. Nonetheless, it’s not a good idea to poke, push, or touch your nose during the healing process. This may misalign the nasal tissues, hurt, or even undo the results accomplished from the nose job surgery. It’s very important that you keep the area of the surgery protected from anything that can add pressure to it or cause injury.
To keep the nasal shape safe from contact, avoid these activities:
. Any form of exercise or sports, especially those that are high impact
. Throw-and-catch games or other activities where an object might come in contact with your face.
. Pulling clothes over your head. Instead, stick to button-front shirts and pajamas
. Carrying or lifting items
. Playing rough with children or pets
Basically, try to keep your nose safe and protected from anything that could cause an injury. But of course, accidents sometimes do happen. If you encounter any problems after your rhinoplasty surgery, talk to your facial plastic surgeon about what steps you can take to reverse the damage or to plan a revision rhinoplasty procedure.

What do you mean my nose will get bigger throughout the years after rhinoplasty?
I thought the nose grows throughout the years either way, not just after a rhinoplasty.
I just had a closed rhinoplasty.
Yes,the nose may get bigger over time but it does not happen to everyone
My nose has this bridge that im going to get it fixed but I know I am going to touch my nose a million times to be sure the bridge is gone! how does that affect my Rhinoplasty?
Hello, Iranian Surgery speaking. That is actually a common concern among those who have had Rhinoplasty in Iran. The answer is simple, do not touch your nose, however hard it will be on you. Patients must take great care to sidestep setting any pressure on their nose, including touching the nose. For at least 1 – 2 weeks after Rhinoplasty or until the surgeon gives you the green light, you must be cautious. But we generally believe that it’s not a good idea to tinker, touch, poke, or push your nose during the healing time. This may misalign the nasal tissues or undo the outcomes accomplished by the nose job. Be patient with the swelling.
