How to take care of nose surgery?

The nose is one of the most important components of people's facial features, because a strong nose can make people's image more three-dimensional, which can make people more popular with others in life. Therefore, many people with smaller noses want to use rhinoplasty to change the image of their noses. How to care for a nose after plastic surgery? Let's take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

Postoperative Recovery

1. The night after surgery: a small amount of bloody liquid flows out of the nostrils where the surgical incision was made, or blood scab forms on the edge of the nostrils; there is mild swelling and pain at the tip and back of the nose; the middle part of the face begins to swell.

2. 2-3 days after surgery: The pain in the nose and face has basically disappeared, but the swelling becomes more and more obvious. Facial bruises appear around the eyes, like panda eyes, and the external shape of the nose is unclear. It may be accompanied by conjunctival congestion.

4. Seven days after the operation: The swelling has disappeared and the facial bruises have been absorbed, but the nose shape is still unnatural. The skin on the back and tip of the nose is shiny, the wound has healed completely, and there is no pain when pressing.

5. Using methods to promote swelling reduction and blood stasis absorption can help you recover as soon as possible after rhinoplasty surgery. However, not using any auxiliary methods will not cause adverse consequences. On the contrary, using inappropriate auxiliary methods will be harmful to the shaping of the external nose and the healing of the wound.

1. After rhinoplasty, you must pay attention to protecting the surgical area, especially within one month. Do not shake the prosthesis with your hands and do not bump the surgical area. However, it does not matter which side you face when you sleep. The prosthesis will not become crooked due to sleeping on the side of your face.

2. Avoid spicy food after the operation and do not drink alcohol or smoke within one week.

3. Take antibiotics and other related medicines on time every day as prescribed by your doctor.

4. Do not get the surgical incision area exposed to water before removing the stitches. You can apply some erythromycin ointment every day using a sterile cotton swab.

5. You can apply ice compress to the surgical area within 72 hours after surgery, and you can apply heat compress to the surgical area after 72 hours, but be sure not to apply the compress for too long at a time to avoid frostbite or burns.

6. Follow-up visits and stitch removal on time.
