Nose surgery does not simply end on the operating table.

Postoperative care is so important that it influences more than 50% of the result!

Wrong lifestyle habits or careless actions can actually interfere with recovery and even cause side effects.

Today, we will tell you the care methods and actions to avoid that you must follow after nose revision surgery (and of course after the first surgery as well)!

Precautions After Nose Surgery

What if you ignore them, thinking it will be fine?

🚫 No smoking or drinking for at least 1 month 🚫

Alcohol interferes with blood circulation and increases the risk of inflammation.

Smoking constricts blood vessels and reduces blood circulation, which slows recovery and can even increase the possibility of skin necrosis.

🚫 Improper posture can cause swelling and bleeding 🚫

After surgery, do not sleep face down or with your head bent down (for at least 1 week); it is best to sleep as upright as possible!

When sitting, gently lean your head back, and when sleeping, raise your pillow so that your head is positioned higher than your heart.

🚫 Be careful with hot and cold compresses and pressure! 🚫

Cold compresses for 3 days after surgery → helps reduce swelling

Warm compresses from day 4 after surgery → helps recovery by promoting blood circulation.

However, rather than applying compresses directly to the nose, it is better to apply them around the eyes and cheeks near the nose.

🚫 Be careful with wearing glasses and touching your nose! 🚫

Do not wear glasses because they can press on the nose

Restriction period for simple bridge augmentation → possible after 1 month

Restriction period including osteotomy → possible after at least 2 months

Do not habitually touch or twist the nose (for at least 3 months) → avoid stimulation until the implant and cartilage have settled.

🚫 Precautions when blowing your nose and washing your face 🚫

Blowing your nose (do not do for at least 1 month) → may be the cause of revision surgery

Do not rub the inside of the nose strongly, remove sebum, or squeeze blackheads (for at least 3 months)

Showering is possible, but avoid hot baths and saunas for at least 1 month

🚫 Exercise and lifestyle habits 🚫

Daily life is possible immediately after surgery, but start high-intensity exercise only after at least 1 month!

Impact prevention is essential! The nose is the most protruding part of the face, so the risk of bumping it is high.

There are often people who come in after hitting their nose on glass doors or elevator doors.

In particular, for 3 months, you should avoid any impact on the nose and the area around it as much as possible.

🚫 The most important thing is ‘preventing inflammation’🚫

The risk of inflammation remains high for up to 6 months after surgery

Preventing inflammation determines successful recovery after surgery.

Remember these 3 symptoms that may indicate inflammation

  1. Redness 🔴

  2. Swelling 😣

  3. Pain ⚡

If two or more of the three apply

→ An immediate visit to the hospital is essential! If inflammation repeats, contracture can occur

(a condition in which the nose becomes hard and deformed)

People who carefully followed the postoperative precautions often say that the swelling went down quickly and the results looked natural.

They also tend to be happy because the recovery process is much faster and more satisfying than expected.

In summary, minimize the possibility of inflammation,

and do your best to prevent damage or deformation of the nose itself.

!!

A small action or habit can reduce side effects and help you recover quickly and naturally.

Please check and remember this in advance before surgery,

and keep it in mind even after surgery.

So far, this has been Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic, where it is always a pleasure to meet you.
