Why is my nose swollen after rhinoplasty? This is the fifth day.
Every operation is traumatic, and it is not surprising that traumatic behavior leads to swelling.

When augmentation rhinoplasty is performed, a cavity should be stripped from the back of the nose, and silicone prosthesis or autologous cartilage should be implanted. Due to the trauma of the operation itself, postoperative swelling and congestion are inevitable. There are individual differences in the degree and duration of swelling and blood stasis, which is also directly related to surgery. Generally, the duration of swelling and blood stasis is about one week, and it is still swollen on the fifth day. In fact, there is no need to be overly nervous.

But in order to help reduce swelling faster, we can apply cold compress within three days after operation and hot compress after three days, because the blood vessels will be almost "home" after three days, and there may be bruises. By speeding up the blood circulation and promoting the nutrient supply of the surgical site, the bruise will disappear much faster.

In addition, you can pay more attention to help reduce swelling in diet, eat a balanced diet after operation, and eat more fresh and light foods rich in vitamins, protein and other nutrients, which is conducive to wound healing and accelerate postoperative recovery. Fasting spicy, irritating foods, seafood and other foods and medicated diets that are too "nourishing", eating such irritating foods can easily raise blood pressure, dilate blood vessels, cause secondary wound bleeding and form hematoma.
