Use thermal water spray to moisten and clean crusts on the nose following a rhinoplasty to facilitate their removal.

The use of saline solutions or thermal water sprays is a common practice in postoperative care for cleaning mucous membranes and cutaneous wounds. According to surgical literature (observational studies and standard protocols in plastic surgery), hydrating crusts is recognized as a way to facilitate natural debridement and reduce sensations of tightness. Thermal water, which is rich in minerals, is generally well tolerated by fragile skin and provides a soothing effect. However, it is important to note that while humidification is beneficial for comfort, the mechanical removal of crusts must remain gentle to avoid irritating healing tissues. There is no evidence that thermal water possesses superior healing properties compared to a standard sterile saline solution (such as physiological saline). The advice is therefore a comfort practice validated by clinical use, although the specific efficacy of 'thermal water' compared to other solutions is not clinically superior.
