Rhinoplasty surgeries are usually processes that can cause pain after the procedure. Therefore, doctors can usually administer painkillers while the patient is still under anesthesia. Regular use of the medications recommended by your doctor is very important for accelerating tissue healing and relieving pain.
Bleeding or swelling after the procedure can be considered normal to a certain extent. It is generally recommended to lie in a position that keeps the nose higher than the lower part of the face and body to relieve nasal pain and facilitate breathing. You may need to consider the following warnings during the healing process:
- Do not use facial expressions that move your facial expressions excessively,
- Applying sunscreen with a protection factor of thirty or fifty on the nose (a very important detail to avoid discoloration of your nose, which is extremely vulnerable to all harmful rays).
- Avoid heavy sports, exercise, aerobics or running,
- Avoiding foods containing sodium to reduce swelling in the face and nose,
- Pressing your nose and face with an ice pack at the rate and intervals determined by your doctor,
- Choosing not to go to school or work for a while to give yourself as much time to recover as possible.
