First, the precautions for rhinoplasty
1. Within 24 hours after the operation, your face will swell, and you will feel nose pain and dull pain. Doctors will use drugs to control these discomfort. On the first day after operation, it is best to lie in bed (except going to the toilet) and hold your head high.
2. You will have swelling and bruising around your eyes 1 day after operation, and reach the peak in 2-3 days after operation. Cold compress will relieve some swelling and make you feel better. The swelling usually disappears gradually 2-3 weeks after operation.
It is common to have some bleeding in the first few days after operation. You will feel stuffy nose for a few weeks after operation, and the doctor will ask you not to blow your nose during this time.
Second, how long will it take to recover after rhinoplasty?
Most patients with rhinoplasty can go to the fields the day after operation and return to school one week after operation, but it takes 3-4 weeks to get back to normal completely.
You should gradually return to normal activities after the operation. Doctors advise not to do strenuous exercise, such as running and swimming, which will raise blood pressure for 2-3 weeks after operation. Don't hurt or bruise your nose for two months, and don't expose yourself to the sun too much. When washing your face, combing your hair and using cosmetics, you should move gently. You can wear contact lenses after surgery, but it is usually 3-4 weeks after surgery.
Third, a brand-new nose.
The swelling and bruising in the first few days after operation may make you forget that your nose will look good. In fact, many plastic surgery patients will feel depressed in the first few days after surgery, which is very normal and understandable. Rest can make this unpleasant period of depression pass smoothly. Your nose will look better every day, and your spirit will gradually get better. 1-2 weeks later, you will feel as if you have never had surgery.
However, the healing of surgery is a slow and gradual process. The swelling of the tip of the nose may last for several months. Sometimes it takes a year or more to see the final result. At the same time, you may experience abnormal reactions from family members or friends, who may say that your nose has not changed before and after the operation. If you encounter these situations, you have to adjust your mentality on your own.
4. What are the ways of rhinoplasty?
1, silicone prosthesis implanted in rhinoplasty
The silicone prosthesis was implanted into the nose by surgery to improve the nasal dorsum. Silicone prosthesis is an ideal material at present, which has good biocompatibility, little stimulation to tissues, easy carving, low price and wide application.
2. Rhinoplasty
The expanded PTFE material was implanted into the nose by surgery to achieve the effect of rhinoplasty. The expanded material is flexible in texture, and the nose looks natural and beautiful after operation, but it is more expensive.
3. Autologous cartilage transplantation for rhinoplasty
Autologous cartilage tissue was transplanted to the nose to cushion the external nose. Donor cartilage is usually taken from ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage or costal cartilage. Autologous cartilage tissue transplantation will not cause rejection, with high survival rate and realistic and natural appearance, but it may be slightly absorbed and deformed after a long time. In addition, it is very painful to take cartilage from the recipient twice.
Step 4 inject rhinoplasty
In fact, the principle of injection rhinoplasty is similar to that of surgical rhinoplasty, and the effect of rhinoplasty is achieved by filling substances into the skin tissue of the nose, but the difference is that injection rhinoplasty does not need to cut the skin tissue of the nose, and only injection can achieve the filling effect.
Materials available for rhinoplasty by injection include hyaluronic acid, collagen, Evilan, autologous fat, and Aibeifu.
