After a rhinoplasty procedure, the swelling of the base of the nose and the upper lip may make it feel odd to brush your teeth. However, you can brush your teeth the same night as your procedure with out any risk of damaging the surgery.
Yes, of course you should brush your teeth after rhinoplasty. Ask your rhinoplasty surgeon all such questions to be sure no precautions with regard to upper front teeth and lip. Be gentle to avoid stimulating cough, sneeze, or splint removal.
Definitely. Just no nose-blowing until the doc says its ok.
Absolutely, as long as you're using a reasonable amount of pressure and nothing exotic. There should be no limits in that area.
I would suggest you confer with your plastic surgeon who performed the procedure.
