How To Clean Nose After Rhinoplasty?

It is essential to follow the instructions concerning nose cleaning as given by the medical staff after the procedure. Usually these will include keeping the inside of the nose moist by spraying 3-5 times a day with a saline nasal spray. Any dried blood on the outside of the nose can be cleaned off with saline or sterile water on a cotton swab or cotton ball. Once the dressing has been removed the inside of the nose can be washed using a sterilised nasal aspirator bulb syringe device with nose washing salt water. Do not apply any pressure when drying. The surgeon may recommend washing the nose up to 6 times a day. Using an ointment like Vaseline or an antibiotic cream after washing the nose will help to prevent a buildup of dried blood.
