It is usually advised not to kiss for a few weeks so that there can be proper healing and the risk of infection will also reduce. Introducing bacteria to the nose, during early recovery might also disrupt healing. Your surgeon will give you detailed postoperative care instructions. Following these guidelines will help ensure a smooth recovery and the best results coming from nose surgery. If you have any concerns or questions, contact your doctor to get advice related specifically to your situation.

Initially, your nose is likely to be sensitive, swollen, and delicate. Avoid any activities that could put pressure on or disturb the healing nose, including kissing. Follow your surgeon's instructions closely during this critical early phase. Even after the initial week, be cautious with activities that involve movement or pressure around the nose.

In the first week after rhinoplasty, avoid such activities that involve forceful activities. During the subsequent weeks, as the initial swelling subsides and the tissues start to stabilize, patients can gradually resume more normal activities. But it should be discussed with your surgeon.
