Rhinoplasty Recovery Guide 👃 - 25 - Recommendations For Postoperative Nasal Dryness and/or Crusting

Waiting For You During The Second Week

Crusting in the nose after nose job surgery 






Nose dryness and intranasal crusting can be observed in varying amounts after nose surgery and other nose operations. In particular, temporary mucosal damage may occur during radiofrequency energy applied during the nose reduction operation.

After nasal surgeries, ocean water sprays, nasal moisturizing products are already suggested.

Apart from these, increasing drinking water, excessive coffee, salty beverages, avoiding alcohol use, consumption of fruits and vegetables with high water content, cold steam machines in the room may be appropriate.

You can find detailed information on all these topics on the website of "www.burunkurulugu.com".

Intranasal crusting decreases especially after the first few weeks. After 3 weeks, I would advise my patients to go for clean, salty seas for a 1-week vacation if the season is available. This 1-week treatment of natural seawater is very effective in accelerating recovery in many patients and clearing nasal crusting. I also recommend the use of sea water with sinus rinse.


It is appropriate that the non-sterile water does not touch the nose within the first 3 weeks after the surgery.
