What anti-inflammatory drugs should I take for prosthetic rhinoplasty?

The nose is the most prominent part of the human face. Some people have very straight noses, while others have sunken noses, which greatly affects their image. Many people use prosthetic rhinoplasty to make their noses straight and powerful, which adds a lot of confidence to themselves. However, in general, it is necessary to take anti-inflammatory drugs after prosthetic rhinoplasty. You can take some anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalosporin or amoxicillin.

Five things to note when doing rhinoplasty and a guide to reducing swelling after surgery

1. It is best to perform the surgery in adulthood, because if the repair is done too early, the repaired nose may become deformed again after facial development. Sterilization must be strictly enforced during surgery. If infection occurs, the filler will become necrotic and fall out. Before inserting the filler, attention should be paid to the separation layers and the size and symmetry of the cavity. The cavity formed after separation should be suitable for the placement of the filler, not too tight or too loose. This is also the principle of rhinoplasty.

2. Before the operation, the coagulation function should be checked routinely, and the nose deformity caused by disease should be treated first to eliminate the pathogen. People with local nasal infections should also be treated first. In severe cases of collapsed nose, the skin and soft tissue will shrink upwards. In this case, surgery must be performed in stages. First, the nose must be separated and moved to its normal position, and then a filler is implanted. According to the shape and size of the collapsed areas such as the bridge of the nose, appropriate fillers are inserted, and then the wounds are sutured to fix the shape of the nose. Penicillin should be injected after surgery to prevent infection.

3. Within 24 hours after the rhinoplasty, the patient will usually feel swelling on the face and severe pain in the nose, and may even have a dull headache. At this time, the patient can take some medication as prescribed by the doctor to control it. At the same time, it is best to lie in bed and raise your head on the first day after the rhinoplasty.

4. During the recovery period after rhinoplasty, the patient must strictly follow the doctor's instructions, especially avoid strenuous activities such as swimming and running within 2 to 3 weeks after the operation, try not to let the nose be injured, and do not wear glasses within 1 month after the operation. These external factors may affect the normal and rapid recovery of the rhinoplasty operation.

5. Precautions after rhinoplasty: In addition to taking care of the wound, you should also pay attention to your daily diet. Eat some sugary fruits, such as sugar cane, apples, pears and other fruits, eat more meat and fish oil, which are rich in fatty acids, have anti-inflammatory effects, and are beneficial to wound healing. Increasing protein in the diet after rhinoplasty can promote wound healing and reduce the chance of infection.

How to reduce swelling after rhinoplasty?

1. After rhinoplasty, quit smoking and drinking, maintain a light diet, and avoid eating spicy foods.

2. Be gentle when washing your face and sleeping to avoid pressuring the surgical site.

3. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take appropriate measures to reduce swelling at the surgical site, but you must not massage, knead or apply hot compresses on your own, as this can easily cause hematoma at the surgical site and is not conducive to wound healing.

4. On the day after rhinoplasty surgery: A small amount of blood may flow out of the nostril where the surgical incision was made, or blood scabs may appear on the edge of the nostril, and the nose and face may swell.

5. 2-3 days after rhinoplasty: Although the pain in the nose and face will basically disappear, the nose and face will become more and more swollen, bruises will appear around the eyes, the nose contour will not be obvious, and in severe cases, there will be conjunctival congestion.

6. 3-6 days after rhinoplasty: Generally, the swelling will gradually improve, the bruises around the eyes will gradually fade, and the conjunctival hemorrhage will subside, but there will still be pain due to pressure on the tip and back of the nose.

7. Seven days after rhinoplasty: At this time, the swelling has basically disappeared, the bruises have almost completely subsided, the wound has healed well, and there will be no obvious pain, but the nose contour is still not clear enough.
