Generally, the swelling subsides one month after rhinoplasty, but it can completely return to nature three months after operation. Because rhinoplasty needs to restore the soft tissue of the nose, the real shape and height must wait until the soft tissue is restored.
How to nurse the swelling caused by prosthetic rhinoplasty? Try not to get wet or wash your face for three days after augmentation rhinoplasty. If you really want to wash your face, you can wipe it with a towel, but try to avoid the surgical site. Otherwise, if the surgical wound is wet with water, it may lead to bacterial infection, inflammation and other problems, and of course the swelling may be more serious.
After augmentation rhinoplasty with prosthesis, we will apply antibiotic ointment to the surgical incision or put a sterile cotton ball in the nostril to protect the wound. Therefore, in order to make the wound heal as soon as possible and not aggravate the swelling degree, the dressing must be changed on time according to the instructions after operation. Because the wounds of prosthetic rhinoplasty are mostly in the nostrils, it is inevitable that there will be nasal scabs after operation. In order to avoid infection caused by contact between nasal scab and wound, it is necessary to clean nasal scab with sterile cotton swab, otherwise the accumulation of nasal scab will also hinder normal ventilation.
If you choose the way of cosmetic surgery, there are many things to pay attention to after surgery, such as taking medicine and eating. We all recommend eating more fruits to replenish water. The main function of drugs is to diminish inflammation and reduce swelling.
