Within a week after rhinoplasty, the nose is still in the swelling stage. Especially when sleeping, you need to pay special attention. Never press the nose, because pressing can easily lead to bleeding and wound infection, and may also cause the prosthesis to be skewed.
Try not to wash your hair within one week after rhinoplasty.
One week after rhinoplasty, if you want to wash your hair, it is recommended to ask someone to wash your hair or go to a barber shop. Because if you wash your hair yourself, your head will always be low, which may cause the surgical wound to come into contact with water, and also affect the blood circulation inside your nose, and there may be nosebleeds.
3. Don't get wet on the day when the stitches are removed after rhinoplasty.
Generally, the stitches can be removed after a week of rhinoplasty. Because there must be a small gap in the wound after stitches are removed, in order to avoid wound infection, it is recommended to wash your face normally the next day after stitches are removed.
4. Don't blow your nose for 2-4 weeks after rhinoplasty.
Remember not to blow your nose casually during the recovery period after rhinoplasty. Blowing your nose is easy to cause bleeding at the surgical site, and may also cause subcutaneous emphysema and even cause prosthesis displacement.
5. You can't swim for one month after rhinoplasty.
Because swimming requires a long time to bow your head, and the power of water will also impact your head, which is likely to lead to a fragile nose and affect the recovery of the nose.
6. You can't do strenuous exercise within one month after rhinoplasty.
Intense exercise slows down wound recovery, such as running, jumping, equipment fitness, etc. And it is suggested to wait for two months before trying to exercise.
7. You can't take a sauna for one month after rhinoplasty.
The nose is still recovering within a month, and it has not fully recovered. If you go to the sauna, the blood circulation of the wound will be accelerated, which may lead to nose bleeding and affect the recovery of the nose.
8. You can't wear glasses for two months after rhinoplasty.
Two months after augmentation rhinoplasty, the prosthesis did not completely form a capsule with the nose. If you wear frame glasses, it is likely to lead to prosthesis displacement and prosthesis bleeding.
9. Avoid makeup within three months after rhinoplasty.
Do not apply cosmetics containing metal to the nose within three months after rhinoplasty, otherwise it may lead to wound infection, or slow healing, leaving obvious scars.
10, don't eat spicy and hairy food, don't smoke and drink after rhinoplasty.
Don't eat spicy food, such as pepper, mustard, garlic, etc. Within one month after rhinoplasty. These foods easily irritate the nerves and cause a runny nose. Don't eat hair, such as beef, seafood, fried food, etc. These foods will stimulate the soft tissue proliferation of the wound, so that the wound will slowly bleed and heal and turn red.
It is best not to smoke or drink for two to three months after rhinoplasty. Alcohol and tobacco will hinder wound healing, and in severe cases, it may also lead to scar hyperplasia and enlarged nose.
