Secret to Reduce Recovery Time After Rhinoplasty!

Today, we are going to talk about how to reduce recovery time after rhinoplasty!

Recovery takes different time depending on the patient's body condition and surgery method but usually patient can have daily life in 7 days after the surgery.

We remove cast and stitches 7th days after the surgery and then patients can start washing their face and wear a make up.

 

Usually, there are minor and major swelling. On the 3rd day post-op, patient gets the maximum swelling which disappears in about 7 days. But there will be yellow colored bruise and minor swelling remained.

Normally, minor swelling goes way in 3 months so don't worry!

How long does recovery take after rhinoplasty and what should patient do for fast recovery?

1. Smoking and drinking alcohol are anyway harmful! 

Patient must avoid smoking and drinking alcohol after the surgery. It's hard to stop for someone but it's necessary to avoid it for a month because it can cause inflammation or excessive bleeding. 

2. Reduce swelling in daily habit.

It's important to have good daily habit which can reduce swelling. Alleviate your head above than your heart during the sleep and sitting is better than lying down.

The most important thing is doing exercise!

Severe exercise can cause problems so patient should avoid it for a month.

But light walking and stretching help blood circulation as well as fast recovery.

3. Ice/Hot pack at the right time

Ice/Hot pack is really good for fast recovery. Temperature should be different depending on the nose condition. For 3 days after the surgery, patient needs to do ice pack to prevent from bleeding and inflammation and from the 4th day, patient needs to start applying warm pack to help blood circulation for fast recovery. It should be around the nose area not directly on the nose!

Applying pack at the right time can reduce a lot of recovery time!

Lastly, recovery takes different time depending on the patient's body and nose condition.

Please keep in mind that it's also depending on the doctor's experience and skill as well as the hospital's good aftercare system!

Three tips reducing recovery time after rhinoplasty!

Summer vacation is coming! I believe there are a lot of patients who are considering rhinoplasty during this summer vacation.

Before decide your surgery, you would be curious about the recovery after rhinoplasty. 

If you do rhinoplasty during summer vacation, you don't need to go back to school or work wearing cast on your nose. Also swelling and bruise can be recovered during vacation!

I am going to share Three tips which can shorten your recovery time!

Health condition and surgical plan are different depend on patients and recovery speed is always different from patients.

Usually, on seven days post operation, the stitch can be removed and you can wear make-up. 

Swelling becomes the worst on three days post operation. Big swelling disappears in one week. After a week, yellow bruise and small swelling will be remained and those also disappear in three months after surgery.

Warm and cold pack helps your recovery!

Until three days post operation, you need to do cold pack to prevent bleeding and infection. Start warm pack which helps blood circulation from four days post operation.

You should always put the pack around your nose, not on your nose.

Smoking and drinking are harmful to people who don't consider surgery as well!

Smoking and drinking can cause infection and bleeding after rhinoplasty so you should avoid those at least one month!

When you sleep after surgery, you need to keep your head upper than your heart and better to sit rather than lie down on bed. 

The most important thing is exercise! 

I recommend light walking and stretching and these helps your blood circulation and recovery but you should avoid excessive exercising such as swimming, mountain climbing and etc.

At the last, recovery after rhinoplasty is always different depend on patient's health and nose condition but you need to check the doctor's surgery experience and after surgery care that hospital provide to patients.
