1. The incisions of prosthetic rhinoplasty are mostly hung on the inner edge of nostril, and the incisions are hidden, and almost no scars can be seen. There will be obvious swelling after operation, and the swelling will recover in about three days. Generally, the stitches are removed in 5-7 days, and the swelling is obvious in the first 2-3 days, which will not affect the normal work and life.

Generally speaking, the prosthesis can recover naturally within one to two weeks after rhinoplasty, and fully recover after two months. The specific recovery time has a great relationship with the patient's personal quality and personal care. In order to shorten the recovery time, it is necessary not only to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, but also to do a good job in nursing after rhinoplasty.

Nursing care after rhinoplasty

1. Apply antibiotic ointment to the wound after rhinoplasty. If exposed to the outside, there will be a small amount of oozing blood without dressing, which can be gently wiped with sterile cotton swabs. Do not wet the wound with water to avoid infection.

2. Rest in a semi-recumbent position after operation to promote blood circulation. Don't bow your head on the first day to prevent bleeding; You can eat liquid food on the second day and the third day, not irritating food.

3. The wound will stop oozing blood within 3 hours after rhinoplasty. If the wound is covered with blood scab, it can be gently washed off with 3% hydrogen peroxide within 24-48 hours after operation, then washed with normal saline and coated with a small amount of ointment.
