(if you’ve had it done, it would be more helpful) I looked online, but i want to know what it really is like. When does swelling go away (is it major or minor)? How long is the face bruised? is there numbness? where? how long does it last? I want all the details, etc. Thanks!
You should wait at least a few days. Masturbating will increase your blood pressure and could start a nose bleed (epistaxis) on the operated area. But after a few days your internal parts of the nose should be healed enough and you should be able to have your, uh, fun.

Im getting rhinoplasty tomorrow at 12pm and must fly to England in 6 days after the op the flight will only be 2 hours it will cost a hell of alotta money to change im ok with discomfort but is it safe?
Thanks.
I quit 2 weeks before surgery, and it’s 15 days after surgery now. When can I start smoking cigarettes again?
I jog (not too fast!) and use an elliptical trainer (much like walking, like a ski machine).
How soon after the op can I resume jogging? And (I presume sooner) how soon can I resume using the elliptical trainer?
Do doctors tell you not to exercise because the bones will be jolted out of place, or because you will get nose-bleeds?
hello, i have recently had otoplasty and rhinoplasty. I have had my stitches and bandages removed. does anyone know if i will be able to sleep on my side once the stitches and bandages are removed? can i do normal things like wash my hair straight after? would really be grateful for any help.
If I were to get a nose job how long would I have to wait before I could play tennis again?
I had a nose job 3 weeks ago and i didnt really like the result. I wanted my nostril to be narrowed but the doctor also raise the bridge and the tip of my nose. I am really sad about the result. My nose looks bigger and the implant made it look unnatural. I am Asian. All i wanted is too have smaller nose cos i have a slightly wide nose. Now my nose looks so big . Im not sure if its because of the swelling or just the implant he put inside. I am so sad and frustrated.
I know I need to be careful of my nose for a long time, but can you still drink a bit? Is it a blood thinner? Just curious.
My cousin just had an augmentation rhinoplasty two months ago. She is considering of having the silicon implant removed because her nose now looked “off-centered”, It is inclined to the right side of the nose,. An Alar base reduction and alar thinning were also done during her operation. She fears that if implant is removed, her nose will appear deformed. She is also considering how the skin just above the nose will look like since it has stretched to accomodate the new “bridge”. All information and views regarding this will be appreciated.
