A member asked:

I blew my nose twice hard after double jaw surgery, i heard this could pull the face bones apart?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stretching : Your face has bones and cartilage which sustain some stretching with a forceful blow of the nose. Since your bones are held together with joints and ligaments, only a reversible stretching will occur. This should not cause problems with your jaw healing after surgery, but if you have lasting pain after blowing your nose, go see your surgeon and ask questions !
