Sneezing After Rhinoplasty Surgery

Why do you sneeze?
Sneeze…: When a virus, bacteria, dust or another foreign substance enters the nose, the internal nerve structure of the nose senses this and sends a warning to the sneezing center in the lower brainstem region. As a result of the warning, the air in the nose and mouth is forced out by the sudden strong contraction of the rib cage muscles.

How hard to sneeze?
You sneeze at a speed of approximately 160 km per hour. The resulting droplets can sometimes exceed 1.5 meters.

The number and severity of sneezing varies in each patient. When the aesthetic nose operation is completed and you return home, you will sneeze more or less for a few reasons.

Silastic supports in the nose or the use of a different substance (in the form of a foreign body reaction): After the nose aesthetic surgery, for support of the nasal cavities items are placed. Silastic supports are the most comfortable of these, but they can also cause sneezing.

Nasal discharge (due to silastic supports and surgery): Nasal discharge due to increased secretion caused by intranasal substances and surgical intervention. Increased secretions may cause sneezing.

Dry nose: Closed inside of the nose, crusting, etc. Drying may stimulate the intranasal mucosa for some reasons.
After your surgery, even if you are given medications to reduce nasal discharge so that sneezing does not bother you, you can still sneeze - albeit a small amount. Intranasal silastic support etc. With its removal, sneezing will disappear.

What should be done to prevent sneezing?
