What should I pay attention to in rhinoplasty?
Matters needing attention after rhinoplasty are as follows: 1. Cold compress should be properly applied within 24 hours after rhinoplasty to help reduce swelling. 2. Timely dressing change, not blowing nose and removing nasal scab are the key points of postoperative incision nursing. After silicone augmentation rhinoplasty, the incision is generally not covered with dressing. The doctor only puts a sterile cotton ball on the nostril of the operation side or applies some antibiotic ointment on the incision. The second day after operation, the incision was disinfected again and the cotton ball in the nostril was taken out. 3. Blowing your nose can easily cause bleeding and subcutaneous emphysema, and it can also cause prosthesis displacement, which should be avoided as much as possible within 2-4 weeks after operation. The accumulation of nasal scabs in nostrils is not only easy to cause infection, but also aggravate ventilation obstruction. You can soften it with a wet cotton swab and then take it out carefully. 4. The local wound after operation can be bandaged with pressure or cold compress with ice pack, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid damaging the surgical site. Once there is bleeding and severe hematoma after operation, you should go to the hospital for follow-up in time. 5. It usually takes 1 month to fully show the true shape of the nose. It is normal for the prosthesis to shake slightly after implantation, especially the silicone prosthesis, but don't shake the prosthesis yourself, otherwise it will make the movement of the prosthesis more serious, and at the same time avoid the violent collision or impact of external forces. Some complicated rhinoplasty operations often need to be fixed by wearing a mold, which takes 1 week or even longer. During the recovery period after rhinoplasty, the operator should strictly follow the doctor's requirements, especially do not do strenuous activities such as swimming and running for 2-3 weeks after operation, try not to cause trauma to the nose, and do not wear glasses every month after rhinoplasty. These external factors may affect the normal and rapid recovery of rhinoplasty.
