What should you pay attention to after rhinoplasty?

Whether the nose is beautiful has always been the focus of attention for people who love beauty. This is easy to understand, because the nose is not only located in the middle part of the face, but also the most protruding part of the face. It can be said that its aesthetic value is on par with the eyes. So it is natural for everyone to pay attention to the beauty of the nose. This is also the reason why rhinoplasty is becoming increasingly popular. If you are determined to go to the hospital for rhinoplasty, you must take relevant care measures after the operation to ensure the success and effect of the operation. So, what are the precautions after rhinoplasty? Let’s find out together.

Rhinoplasty precautions include

Try to avoid getting the surgical area wet within 7 days after rhinoplasty; keep the surgical area clean to prevent infection. If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, it can be wiped with sterile saline. This is an important point to note when doing rhinoplasty.

After rhinoplasty, you can apply pressure to the local wound or use an ice pack to cool it, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid damaging the surgical site. If continuous bleeding and severe hematoma occur after rhinoplasty, the patient should go to the plastic surgery department for follow-up promptly; the patient should rest in a quiet and comfortable environment after rhinoplasty. Avoid weight bearing which may increase swelling

Other things to note when doing rhinoplasty include some pain at the wound on the first day, but this will gradually subside over time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers, as aspirin-like drugs can aggravate wound bleeding;

Avoid eating irritating foods such as chili peppers; strictly follow the doctor's instructions for taking medication and follow-up visits.

Precautions have a great impact on the treatment effect. If the doctor's operation is already very good, it would be a pity if the operation fails because the patient did not pay attention to the precautions of rhinoplasty. Therefore, everyone must pay attention and take careful care after the operation to ensure good results.
