Rhinoplasty – dripping Started by: Rosey

I had my drip pad on for a week I couldn’t live without it! When I took it off it dried up though finally!
I couldn’t breath properly until I was a month post op I think but I had open rhino so don’t know if it will be sooner for you x

I think breathing was more of a gradual thing, as the swelling got better my airways opened up slowly but there were times where I wasn’t getting enough air by breathing through my nose so I just waited until they were clear and then it came naturally to me again!
I slept upright for a few weeks but I think that was mainly because I loved my v pillow it was so comfy so it didn’t really bother me 🙂
It’s best to sleep upright for a while though it will help with the swelling and so you don’t roll over in your sleep and bang it! It’s worth it cos you definitely don’t want that to happen! X

Hey Hun all normal! I’m six weeks post op with closed and I had my drip pad on a couple of days longer than told too, sometimes my nose still leaks now! Nothing major but the odd clear mucas (sorry so gross) xx
