How long does the swelling last after rhinoplasty?
? Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgery at present. Although the effect of rhinoplasty is very good, postoperative nursing can not be ignored. Therefore, many people who love beauty are very concerned, so it is more natural. Let's take a look at what the experts in Han Chun Plastic Surgery Hospital of Liuzhou Liren said! Beauty experts point out that you can look in the mirror just after the operation and see what your nose has become. The nose shape at this time is more realistic; When swelling masks its original shape, the nose may look ugly or even scary. But you don't have to be afraid. This is a common surgical reaction. Almost everyone has to go through this process. This is not inflammation, but a normal tissue reaction. The swelling began at 1-2 hours after operation, peaked at about 24 hours, stopped at 48 hours and began to subside at 72 hours. You will gradually reproduce the original shape. At this time, you will be smiling, the mirror will not leave your hand, and you will not appreciate it enough. The facial blood circulation is rich, and the swelling is severe after trauma, but it is also fast. This swelling reaction is light and heavy, and the light is not obvious; In severe cases, the back of the nose becomes flat, as if the bridge of the nose had not been padded, and even the lower eyelid was swollen, but the swelling was painless and soon subsided. This is related to rough operation, big trauma, excessive bleeding, and the defect of coagulation mechanism in patients. However, most people's postoperative swelling is not serious. Some people are nervous at the sight of swelling and don't know what the consequences will be; Some people are eager for success, and it is useless to use massage and hot compress to speed up the swelling. What is needed is patience, which will naturally reduce the swelling, and no coup is impossible. Generally 10 days or so becomes more natural, and some people can't see that they have done rhinoplasty; It takes about 2-3 weeks for people who recover slowly to completely become the same as ordinary people's noses. Apply antibiotic ointment to the wound after rhinoplasty. If exposed, there will be a small amount of oozing blood without dressing, which can be gently wiped off with sterilized cotton fiber. Never touch the wound with unclean things to avoid pollution. The wound will stop bleeding within 3 hours after the operation. 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 rinsed with normal saline, coated with a small amount of ointment or anti-inflammatory powder, kept the wound dry, waited for self-healing, and removed stitches in 5-7 days. Good postoperative care can accelerate the swelling after rhinoplasty, quit smoking and drinking, keep a good sleeping position and prevent external nose compression. Don't squeeze your nose too much when washing your face, don't make up, and do less facial care.
