Q. Hi Dr Taimur Shoaib. I was just wandering once you have had your rhinoplasty surgery obviously your nose will be fragile, so what would you do if you had to sneeze and if you couldn’t stop your sneeze would it hurt and would it have a negative effect on your recovery. Thank You,

 

A. Hi there. We obviously can’t stop anyone from sneezing, but I do say is to try and not blow your nose after the operation. It’s OK to sniff, but not OK to pick the nose either! I say this as your nose can start bleeding after this type of activity. It can be difficult to stop nose bleeds and sometimes they need packing or cautery.
