It is really important to take proper post-operative care after your nose surgery. You must consult your Rhinoplasty surgeon before and after the surgery to take proper care of your nose and health once you are discharged from the hospital. Here are some tips on how to take post-operative care for your nose surgery.
- To decrease the swelling of your nose and the nearby area, you should elevate your head a bit from the normal position you sleep daily. Use two pillows in place of one to elevate your head during the sleep at night or while taking rest as well.
- Don’t allow your dog or any other pets to bump onto your nose (not even mistakenly). This can worsen the condition severely.
- You should also avoid workouts at least for 1-2 weeks after the surgery as that can hurt your nose without even your conscious.
- You should maintain a diet with low slat contain an excess of salt will result in more fluid retention in the nose (nasal tip) which can reduce the healing process and it might also form puss.
- Try to stick to a soft or liquid diet for next few days of the operation so that chewing hard food doest hurt your nose.
- Try to avoid wearing spectacles for at least few days of your nose surgery as that would create problems for your nose if it comes into contact with the place of the operation.
- You should start and continue to wear hats and put sunscreen whenever you are going out in the sun even after a long time passed from your nose job as it would help you heal the cut sooner and will also prevent swelling of the place due to excessive heat outside.
- If you are experiencing pain in your nose, try contacting your Rhinoplasty surgeon as soon as possible.
