how long after rhinoplasty can I get my nails done?

specifically, I had a columella strut graft (made from cadaver cartilage) put in my nose in order to increase tip projection. nail salons tend to me odorous. is it possible for the fumes to negatively impact the graft or the final result? thanks in advance.

Procedure: Rhinoplasty
Location: miami, FL

Thank you for sharing your question. Once you feel up to it, you should be able to get your nails done as the odors and fumes will not impact your strut graft. Hope this helps

In about 3 weeks, all incisions will heal well and will be safe to allow fumes to enter the nose.
