Hey there, I was wondering if you use nasal packing for your rhinoplasty surgeries? I’ve heard it is very uncomfortable. Can you tell me the pros & cons of using packing and whether you use it or not?
Answer:
I do not routinely use packing for the nose after a rhinoplasty because it is very painful or at the least very uncomfortable and may even lead to a sinus infection or in rare cases a dangerous kind of Staph infection known as “toxic shock.”
