6. Pay attention after rhinoplasty

(1) Don't rub vigorously after total rhinoplasty.

Generally, prosthesis such as silicone does not need to be bandaged and fixed for rhinoplasty, and the doctor may only put a sterile cotton ball in the nostril on one side of the surgical incision. People who use autogenous bone or cartilage as scaffold should be fixed with adhesive tape or dental impression glue besides inserting iodoform gauze into nostril after operation. After removing the bandage, the patient can wash his face and hair. Previously, patients could gently wipe the uncovered area of the face with a wet soft towel. In the next 6 weeks, be careful and gentle when cleaning your face, and avoid severe friction. When washing your hair, you should get help from others. Take your head back and don't bow your head.

(2) The dressing should be changed in time after comprehensive rhinoplasty.

Timely dressing change, not blowing nose and removing nasal scab are the key points of postoperative incision nursing. After silicone augmentation rhinoplasty, the incision is generally not covered with dressing. The doctor only puts a sterile cotton ball on the nostril of the operation side or applies some antibiotic ointment on the incision. The second day after operation, the incision was disinfected again and the cotton ball in the nostril was taken out. Blowing nose is easy to cause bleeding and subcutaneous emphysema, and it can also cause prosthesis displacement, which should be avoided as much as possible within 2-4 weeks after operation. The accumulation of nasal scabs in nostrils is not only easy to cause infection, but also aggravate ventilation obstruction. You can soften it with a wet cotton swab and take it out carefully.

(3) Pay attention to the diet after total rhinoplasty.

Although rhinoplasty is not harmful to the body, we should do a good job in all aspects of nursing and pay attention to diet. What to eat and what not to eat after the operation is very important. In response to this problem, experts pointed out that you should not eat some spicy and irritating foods after surgery, because these foods are likely to cause postoperative infection, lengthen the recovery period and affect the effect of surgery. You should also eat more foods rich in protein, such as eggs and milk, which will speed up the recovery of the operation. In addition, you need to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and also eat more foods with high sugar content, such as sugar cane and apples.

Tips: After total rhinoplasty, make sure the surgical site is clean to prevent infection. If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, it can be wiped with sterile physiological saline. Don't take medicine privately, please consult a doctor.
