There are tampons called silicone splints today. When this kind of tampons is used, the patient can get back into daily life very rapidly and can breathe from his nose easily.
In rhinoplasty without tampons; a special tool called intranasal perforator is used. No nasal tampon is used. Since the patient’s nose is not blocked, he can breathe through the nose easily. There is no need to do additional cleaning inside the nose. The dissolvable stitches are placed in the nose with this tool. The stitches do not need to be removed after the operation; they dissolve by themselves about 10 days later.
