How to Go Comfortable and Easy After Nose Aesthetic (Rhinoplasty) Surgery?

I will tell you about my own experience about the most common problems we encounter after Rhinoplasty surgery and what needs to be done for a comfortable and easy post-operative period.

How Comfortable and Easy to Go After Rhinoplasty Surgery

The technique that you and your doctor have chosen according to the condition of your nose, the duration of anesthesia and the quality of anesthesia are important factors that affect the postoperative maximum traumatic work during the operation. One of the frequently asked questions is “Will I have a lot of pain after the surgery“; I can say that we almost never face serious pain complaints, even if there is some pain, this complaint disappears with the drugs we give. With 25 years of experience, I can tell you that there is no need to be afraid of post-operative pain, to raise it in your head. Another issue is swelling and bruises on the face and eyelids under the eyes after the surgery, but a certain amount of bruises and swelling under the eyes, depending on the skin sensitivity. This is reduced to a minimum in 3-4 days with ice application and postoperative mobility. Drinking plenty of water, but not exaggerating, drinking their juices such as green tea, parsley, pineapple will help edema go down faster. At the same time, the most important thing is mobility. It is important to know that walking and maximum movement during cool hours will increase blood circulation and will help reduce edema. In other words, spending the postoperative period in bed will prolong the healing process.

In the meantime, attention should be paid to the condition of nutrition and blood pressure, the movements to be made should not be exaggerated and heavy exercise. We recommend that you act vigorously on the second day after the first day in the hospital. Of course, there are no complications, if blood pressure and nutrition are normal, returning to your work and normal daily activities as soon as possible will positively affect your recovery. One of the most common post-operative problems we encounter is will I be able to breathe through the nose after the operation? Recently, we put silicone nasal splits in the nose after surgery for 2-3 days, and their edges are corrugated, allowing us to breathe through these grooves and the upper and lower parts of the split. From time to time, the grooves of the nasal splits can become stuck with a blood clot and this prevents the air we take from the nose, but this blockage can be opened by injecting some serum into the grooves and breathing can be restored. In addition, in cases where nasal breathing is not sufficient, the body is directed to mouth breathing, 2-3 days pass with some nose and mouth breathing. In the meantime, lips may become dry due to mouth breathing. Therefore, it is necessary to drink plenty of water and apply some creams to the lips for drying.

In rhinoplasty (nose aesthetics) surgery, intranasal septum surgery is performed together and in some cases, we apply RF to these turbinates due to enlargement of the concha, which we call concha, in some cases, this causes some edema and crusting in intranasal surgery. For this reason, we recommend nasal washing solutions after surgery, which provides serious relief.
