1. Foods containing traditional Chinese medicine ingredients for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis
Chinese medicines such as angelica root, safflower, and Chuanxiong all have the effect of accelerating blood circulation. If you eat these foods after plastic surgery, it is likely to cause the wound that has stopped bleeding to bleed again, or even cause local hematoma, prolonging the recovery process.
For those who undergo small incision precision plastic surgery such as endotomy to remove eye bags or small incision to remove buccal fat pad, because the surgery uses small incisions and delicate operations, complete hemostasis may not be achieved during the operation, and Because the incision is small and the amount of self-drainage is small, problems such as bleeding and subcutaneous hematoma are already prone to occur. If you try to "activate blood circulation" after plastic surgery, it will be like adding insult to injury. If the plastic surgery is a large-scale operation with a lot of leakage (such as liposuction, etc.), you should also avoid eating "blood-activating" foods after the plastic surgery. In addition, since alcohol also has a blood-activating effect, you should avoid drinking alcohol in the short term after plastic surgery.
2. Spicy and hot food
After eating spicy or hot food, people will experience reactions such as heat and sweating. Since there will inevitably be a certain amount of bacteria in sweat, if the sweat glands near the plastic surgery incision secrete a large amount of sweat, it will not only be detrimental to the healing of the wound, but may also easily lead to local bacterial growth and increase the risk of post-plastic surgery infection.
3. Seafood, tropical fruits and other foods that can easily cause allergies
Crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans in seafood can easily cause allergies in the body because they contain histamine and other ingredients. Mango, Tropical fruits such as pineapple are also prone to allergies. When allergies occur, the skin will become red, rash, peeling, itchy and other symptoms. Since most plastic surgeries involve skin incisions, allergies may cause edema at the surgical site, resulting in delayed healing of the incisions. If you scratch the skin at the plastic surgery site due to skin itching, it may also lead to local infection.
4. Food that is hard and requires hard chewing
Involves plastic surgery in and around the oral cavity, such as intraoral incision mandibular angle plastic surgery, buccal fat pad removal, cleft lip and palate Repair surgery, thick lip thinning and thin lip thickening surgery, facial rhytidectomy, etc. Patients must eat soft food after plastic surgery to minimize problems such as incision dehiscence and wound bleeding caused by chewing. There was once a beauty lover who had an intraoral mandibular angle plastic surgery. He chewed a chicken drumstick because of his greed. As a result, the intraoral incision of the plastic surgery dehisced and had to be sutured again.
