Avoid contact with water and dirt

One of the most important things to remember after rhinoplasty is to keep the nose clean, more specifically avoid getting wet and contact with dirt.

Notes: Using only physiological saline is safe enough. You can also use physiological saline used in infusion, but it might be costly.
