What food can't be eaten after cosmetic surgery?
At any time, some foods can't be eaten, especially before and after plastic surgery, and some foods can't be touched. General doctors will remind patients after plastic surgery, but some people will ask for more details. What exactly is it? In this regard, plastic surgery experts said that after cosmetic surgery, the diet will be restricted. Specifically, you can't eat the following four types of food after plastic surgery. 1. Foods containing traditional Chinese medicines for promoting blood circulation, such as Angelica sinensis, Carthamus tinctorius and Chuanxiong, have the function of accelerating blood circulation. After eating, it may make the wound that has stopped bleeding bleed again, and even cause local hematoma, thus prolonging the recovery process. Because of the precision of small incision surgery, such as removing bags under the eyes and buccal fat pad through small incision, the operation may not be able to stop bleeding completely, and because of the small incision and small self-drainage flow, it is easy to have problems such as oozing blood and subcutaneous hematoma. If "promoting blood circulation" after operation, it is tantamount to "adding insult to injury". If you are doing extensive and exudative surgery (such as liposuction, etc. ), avoid eating "blood-activating" food after surgery. Not long ago, the author once met a patient, because he drank the angelica chicken soup cooked by his family after the skin dilator was implanted, which led to a serious hematoma. Everyone should pay enough attention to this problem. In addition, because alcohol can also promote blood circulation, alcohol should be avoided in the short term after plastic surgery. Second, spicy and too hot food After eating spicy or too hot food, people will have reactions such as dryness and heat and sweating. Because there are bound to be a certain number of bacteria in sweat, if the sweat glands near the surgical incision secrete a lot of sweat, it will not only be detrimental to wound healing, but also easily lead to local bacterial reproduction and increase the risk of postoperative infection. Third, seafood, tropical fruits and other foods that are easy to cause allergies. Crustaceans such as crabs and shrimps in seafood are easy to cause allergies because they contain histamine and other ingredients; Tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple are also easy to cause allergies. When allergic, the skin will be red and rash, and there will be symptoms such as molting and itching. Because cosmetic surgery is mostly skin surgery, allergies may lead to edema at the surgical site, leading to delayed healing of the incision; If you scratch the skin of the surgical site because of skin itching, it may also lead to local infection. 4. Foods with high hardness that need to be chewed hard involve cosmetic surgery in and around the oral cavity, such as mandibular angle plasty through oral incision, buccal fat pad removal, cleft lip and palate repair, thick lip thinning and thin lip thickening, facial rhytidectomy, etc. Patients must eat soft food after operation, so as to minimize the problems of surgical incision dehiscence and wound bleeding caused by chewing. On one occasion, a patient who underwent mandibular angle plastic surgery through an intraoral incision had to be sutured again because he chewed a chicken leg because of his greedy mouth. If the skin wants to recover, don't eat some food that is not good for the wound. The above four foods must not be eaten. I hope that friends who have plastic surgery will pay attention to this. Once these problems are eaten, it may bring trouble to the recovery of skin and wounds.
