Yaxu Du, vice president of Chongqing Meilun Beauty and Plastic Surgery Hospital, said that postoperative care is very important if you want to return to nature as soon as possible after rhinoplasty.
The day after the operation
After the operation, the doctor will use an incision to fill a small gauze in the nostril, in order to compress the wound to relieve the pain and prevent bacteria from entering. The gauze needs to be changed on the first day after operation, and the nostril needs to be wiped with iodophor every day after operation to keep the wound clean.
It is best to rest in a semi-recumbent position on the first day after operation to facilitate blood circulation. There may be a little bloody liquid flowing out from the nostril of the surgical incision, which can be gently wiped off with a sterile cotton swab. You can apply more cold compress within 24 hours, which is beneficial to detumescence.
After operation, there was slight swelling and pain in the nose tip and back, and the middle part of the face began to swell. These are normal reactions, so don't worry too much. Keep a calm mind and pay attention to rest.
2-3 days after operation
Within 48 hours after operation, the accumulated scab on the wound can be gently washed off with hydrogen peroxide, then washed with normal saline, coated with a small amount of ointment, or sprinkled with anti-inflammatory powder to keep the wound dry and wait for self-healing.
During this period, the pain in the nose and face of the beauty seeker basically disappears, but the swelling will become more and more obvious, and the outline of the external nose is unclear. Keep your nose and face clean, don't touch your nose, and don't let foreign objects touch your nose.
3-6 days after operation
The facial blood circulation is rich, and the swelling is more intense after trauma, but the swelling is also faster. After the swelling gradually subsided, the color of the blood stasis area around the eyes gradually turned from red to yellow, and there was still discomfort at the tip and back of the nose. If there is conjunctival blood stasis, the blood stasis basically disappears at this stage.
7 days after operation
The swelling has basically disappeared, and the facial congestion has been absorbed, but the nose shape is not natural, and the skin on the back and tip of the nose is shiny. The wound has completely healed and there is no pain. At this time, beauty seekers should go to the hospital to take stitches and take pictures on time.
