It depends on the recovery after rhinoplasty. The first three days after rhinoplasty are swelling period, and swelling begins after 72 hours. Generally, the peak of swelling is within 72 hours. At this time, the operating area is fragile, so don't touch your nose. After rhinoplasty, it is usually fixed with a nose clip.

After 72 hours, it will enter the swelling stage, and some doctors will take off the nose clip, but at this time, the nose is still unstable and cannot be pinched, otherwise it will affect the shape of the nose after operation. The swelling was basically relieved one week after operation, but it was still in the swelling stage. You'd better not pinch your nose at this time. Of course, it is ok to touch it gently with your hands. One month after operation, the tissue recovered to 90%. At this time, it is no problem to gently touch your nose, but you can't use too much force. Three to six months after operation, the tissue recovered. At this time, the bearing capacity of the nose is the same as that of a normal nose.

After rhinoplasty, we can touch our nose normally, in order to receive regular professional rhinoplasty surgery, including augmentation of the nasal tip with silica gel and autogenous cartilage within a safe range. If it is other operations, such as excessively raising the tip of the nose with a prosthesis, there will be serious complications. You can't pinch your nose for a long time after rhinoplasty, because the skin tension at the tip of your nose is too high, and the skin without pinching your nose will be red, and external stimulation will be redder and more painful. This situation should be repaired as soon as possible.
