How does the nose reduce swelling after rhinoplasty?
There are several ways to quickly reduce swelling after rhinoplasty:

1. Ice compress: In the early postoperative period, the swelling peak is within 48 hours, that is, when the swelling is the most serious, and the swelling can be effectively relieved by ice compress. Ice should be applied to the forehead or face, avoiding the operation area.

2, hot compress: 48 hours after surgery should be changed to hot compress, but pay attention to the hot compress temperature is best not to exceed 40℃, to avoid thermal burns to normal skin tissue. The hot compress position should also avoid the operating area and choose the forehead and face. Generally, it is hot compress for 20 minutes every morning and evening.

3, oral detumescence drugs: oral detumescence drugs within 1 week after operation can effectively help detumescence.

The recovery period of rhinoplasty is generally 1-3 months, and 3 months after operation is an important stage of shaping. At this time, the operating area should be protected to avoid collision and extrusion, otherwise it will easily affect the shape of the prosthesis. In addition, if there are any uncomfortable symptoms after operation, such as redness, swelling, heat, pain or special secretions in the operation area, it is not recommended to treat them at home to avoid delaying the illness. At this time, you should go to the hospital in time and let the doctor handle it. Once there is infection, it will affect the existence of prosthesis. In addition, it is recommended that beauty seekers go to the plastic surgery department of a regular hospital for rhinoplasty, which is more secure.
