If there is blood scab accumulation in the wound, it can be gently washed off with 3% hydrogen peroxide within 24-48 hours after operation, then washed with normal saline, coated with a small amount of ointment or anti-inflammatory powder, to keep the wound dry and wait for self-healing. Take a rest in a semi-recumbent position after rhinoplasty to facilitate blood circulation; Don't bow your head on the first day to prevent bleeding; You can eat liquid food for the first two or three days, and don't eat irritating food.
Matters needing attention after rhinoplasty
1. Oral routine antibiotics were given 3 days after operation.
2. Apply antibiotic ointment to the wound after rhinoplasty. If exposed, there will be a small amount of oozing blood without dressing. Wipe gently with sterilized cotton fiber. Never touch the wound with unclean things to avoid pollution.
3. The surgical incision is generally located at the inner edge of a nostril, so you should avoid getting wet when washing your face after operation.
4. Pay attention to protect the nose from external force after operation; Pay special attention not to sleep on your side to avoid squeezing your nose.
5. The nose will swell after operation, which is obvious 2-3 days after operation and can basically subside after one week.
Suture can be basically restored 7 days after operation, and it can be completely restored to nature 1 ~ 3 months after operation.
Special protection: There is another possibility. Your eyes will swell up and turn black around them. This situation may not happen easily, once it happens, you should be mentally prepared, because it will last for a week 10 days until the congestion disappears. Don't wear contact lenses during the recovery period. Even if you wear glasses, don't wear them directly on the bridge of your nose, but tie them on your forehead.
