Nasal Cleansing After Rhinoplasty
[Purpose]
It takes 3~4 weeks for mucous to be
regenerated. Until then, nasal mucous membrane is swollen which creates
excessive bleeding and mucous in the first few weeks which can cause nasal
congestion and hinder regeneration of mucous. After care is just as important
as surgery, itself. When patients clean the nasal passage after surgery by
themselves, it is helpful for mucous to be regenerated quickly.
[Preparation supplies] 50cc syringe, saline solution 0.9% (you can buy it in any
pharmacy for the purpose of nasal cleansing), scar cream (you can start
applying this cream from the 3rd week post-op/you can purchase this
from any pharmacy)
**The ointment our hospital provided is
not scar cream.
[Method]
1.
Tilt your face downwards and
insert the syringe in one side of nose.
2.
Open your mouth and make ‘Ah~’
sound and slowly inject saline solution into your nose.
3.
Saline solution and nasal
discharge can come out with some blood when the scabs fall off. If blood comes
out from the nose, you can gently put a bit of tissue in the nose to stop the
bleeding.
4.
If the blood doesn’t stop,
drink ice water for 30 mins after putting tissue in the nose. If it doesn’t
work, contact us and come to our hospital or go to a nearby emergency
room.
5.
Do this 3~4 times a day up to 1
month.
6.
Use 100cc of saline solution
per side each time.
