Avoid eating: Chinese traditional medicines such as angelica, safflower and Chuanxiong.
Reason: If you eat these foods after plastic surgery, it is likely that the wound that has stopped bleeding will ooze blood again, and even cause local hematoma, which will prolong the recovery process.
Tips: If you do small-incision precise plastic surgery such as removing bags under the eyes through internal incision and removing buccal fat pad through small incision, the bleeding may not be completely stopped during the operation due to the fine operation of small incision. If plastic surgery is a large-scale, exudative operation (such as liposuction, etc. ), avoid eating "blood-activating" food after plastic surgery. In addition, because alcohol can also promote blood circulation, alcohol should be avoided in the short term after plastic surgery.
2. Spicy and allergic food
Avoid eating: spicy and seafood, tropical fruits and other foods that are easy to cause allergies.
Reason: People who eat spicy or seafood can easily cause allergies; Tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple are also susceptible to allergies. When allergic, the skin will be red and rash, and there will be symptoms such as molting and itching. Because plastic surgery mostly has skin incision, allergy may cause edema at the surgical site, leading to delayed healing of the incision. If you scratch the skin at the plastic surgery site because of skin itching, it may also lead to local infection.
Tips: beauty seekers must eat soft food after plastic surgery to minimize the problems such as incision dehiscence and wound bleeding caused by chewing. There was once a beauty seeker who had undergone mandibular angle plastic surgery and oral incision. Because of his greedy mouth, he chewed a chicken leg, which caused the oral incision to crack during plastic surgery and had to be sutured again.
3. Foods that are too hard and need to be chewed hard
Avoid food: nuts and other foods that need to be chewed hard.
Reason: After plastic surgery, you must eat soft food to minimize the problems such as incision dehiscence and wound bleeding caused by chewing.
Tips: It involves plastic surgery in and around the oral cavity, such as mandibular angle plastic surgery, buccal fat pad removal, cleft lip and palate repair, thick lip thinning and thin lip thickening, facial rhytidectomy, etc. Never use the masseter muscle hard.
Food beneficial to the healing of plastic surgery incision
Suitable foods: tomatoes, oranges and kiwis rich in vitamin C, animal liver, egg yolk and milk rich in vitamin A, and foods rich in collagen such as skin, pig's trotters, beef tendon and cartilage.
Reason: After cosmetic surgery, in order to prevent local skin color from deepening and promote wound healing, we can supplement some nutrients that can promote wound healing and have whitening function, such as vitamin C, vitamin A and collagen. Wound healing needs enough collagen, and the formation of collagen fibers needs the help of vitamin C and vitamin A. At the same time, vitamin C can reduce the formation of melanin, and vitamin A can whiten the skin by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase.
