If you have come out of rhinoplasty surgery, first of all, take a sigh of relief. However, keep in mind that in the postoperative period, if you do not follow and pay attention to your doctor's instructions, you may experience some problems.

Below you can find tips on what to do in the recovery process after rhinoplasty.
