Is nasal packing always used after a nose job and what exactly is it?

Submitted by Admin on Tue, 02/02/2010 - 14:02

Question:

Is nasal packing always used after a nose job and what exactly is it? If it’s used, how long is that for?

Answer:

I do not use nasal packing. Some surgeons use nasal packing to prevent bleeding. However, it is painful to have nasal packing, and removal of nasal packing is painful and traumatic. We have found that we do NOT use it and we do NOT need it in our patients. With meticulous surgical technique and other precautions, nasal packing has not been necessary in my hands.
