Is it okay to do a PCR test after rhinoplasty?

Surgery Editor Nick Posting update : 2021.10.26

 

 

After undergoing rhinoplasty, many patients wonder if it is safe to have a PCR test for Covid-19.

 

 

First of all, the PCR test involves inserting a long swab into the nose. Therefore, many people worry that it might affect the surgery result and cause injuries.

 

 

 

 

However, this test does not carry any risks and does not affect the post-surgery results.

 

 

It is recommended to do the test after the stitches removal. That is why you can do a PCR test without any worry before leaving.
