This method of rhinoplasty is a trend in plastic surgery. It fills the lower part of the nose with its own cartilage tissue instead of prosthesis material, which has the advantage of low rejection rate. Autologous cartilage tissue is generally taken from costal cartilage, nasal septum cartilage and auricular cartilage, among which auricular cartilage is the most commonly used, and the nasal tip shaping effect is better.

Nursing points after rhinoplasty

1, the surgical wound should be carefully cared for, and the wound should be coated with some antibiotics and other drugs. If exposed without dressing, a small amount of blood will ooze. Sterilized alcohol cotton can be used to gently wipe the wound, and unclean things can't be used to wipe the wound, so as not to pollute the surgical site and cause infection and undermine the success of the operation.

2. The wound usually stops bleeding within 3 hours after the operation. If there is blood scab around the wound, you can gently rinse it with 3% hydrogen peroxide within 24 to 48 hours, then gently rinse it with normal saline, apply a small amount of antibiotics, or sprinkle some anti-inflammatory powder to keep the wound dry, so that you can wait for your own wound to heal automatically. Don't be impatient at this time, take your time.

3. The swelling began at 1-2 hours after operation and reached its peak within 24 hours. After 72 hours, the swelling and pain began to disappear. Because human facial blood circulation is good, it will fade faster.

Of course, these are inseparable from the operation of the surgeon. For example, the doctor's rough operation during the operation will cause trauma and bleeding. However, most people's postoperative swelling is not very serious, and they can basically be in a natural state about 10 days after operation.
