Nose Massage After Surgery: Plastic surgery Royal✓

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular aesthetic surgeries today. It not only changes the appearance of the nose but also improves breathing quality and daily life. However, a perfect result does not depend solely on the surgeon or the procedure itself – proper postoperative care plays a key role. One of the most important parts of this process is nose massage after rhinoplasty, which helps maintain a natural, symmetrical, and lasting shape.

If you choose to have your nose surgery at Royal Aesthetic Surgery Belgrade, our experienced surgeons will provide you with detailed instructions on massage and the overall recovery process. You will receive an individualized approach and professional support throughout every stage – from the first consultation to the final check-up.

Why is nose massage important after surgery?

During the healing process, the nasal tissue goes through several changes – swelling, formation of fibrous tissue, and even minor irregularities. Nose massage helps control these changes. It reduces swelling, boosts circulation, softens scar tissue, and preserves the shape the surgeon created during the procedure.

In this way, the patient actively contributes to shaping the final result, and with regular and proper massage, the nose gains a natural and harmonious appearance.

When is the right time to start massage?

Nose massage does not begin immediately after surgery. In the first few weeks, the nose is protected by a splint and bandages while the tissue goes through initial healing. Massage is usually introduced between the second and fourth week, but the exact timing is determined solely by the surgeon based on the individual's recovery progress.

At Royal Aesthetic Surgery Belgrade, every patient receives a personalized recovery plan. Our doctors closely monitor each phase and determine precisely when and how to begin the massage – a crucial step for achieving successful and long-lasting results.

How to perform the massage correctly?

Post-rhinoplasty nose massage is gentle but precise. The fingers are used to apply light, controlled pressure and circular motions on specific parts of the nose – most often along the dorsum and the cartilaginous area. Each session lasts just a few minutes and is repeated several times a day over a few weeks or even months.

Although it may feel slightly uncomfortable at first, patients quickly notice improvements – swelling reduces, the tissue softens, and the nose begins to take on the desired shape. At our clinic, every patient receives training on how to safely and independently perform the massage at home.

What are the benefits of regular massage?

Nose massage offers multiple benefits:

• Faster reduction of swelling

• Proper tissue healing

• Prevention of nodules and thickening

• A more refined and natural aesthetic outcome

Patients who choose rhinoplasty at Royal Aesthetic Surgery Belgrade receive clear and detailed instructions from our specialists, making postoperative care simple and the results predictable and long-lasting.

Common mistakes to avoid

Starting massage too early or applying excessive pressure can lead to unwanted complications. Also, irregular or inconsistent massage can reduce its effectiveness. That’s why it's essential to strictly follow the advice given by your surgeon.

Our experience shows that patients who adhere closely to the provided instructions achieve the best results – both aesthetically and functionally.  

Rhinoplasty is a process where every detail matters, and with the team at Royal Aesthetic Surgery, you can be confident that your nose will look natural and flawless – just the way you imagined.
