The more you can keep your head above your body while sleeping, the more normal the breathing process will be and the less painful the nasal operation will be due to nasal obstruction. This is very important and is usually recommended for all patients. The pain in the first days after rhinoplasty is perfectly normal and what you can do these days is rest. You have to deal with this and be sure that this is a fleeting period. This process will help you to complete this recovery period faster.
