Anplus - Nose Surgery Precautions

First, among the nose surgery precautions we provide at Anplus, we would like to explain the effects of alcohol and tobacco, which many people ask about.

After surgery, of course, alcohol and tobacco are naturally not good for you, but because they are a kind of indulgence, we receive many inquiries.

We will explain when you can drink alcohol and when you can smoke after nose surgery.

First, when you drink alcohol, alcohol enters the blood and causes inflammatory substances to be secreted. As a result, wound healing slows down, and wounds do not heal well. Inflammation also increases significantly.

In the case of smoking, there are several effects. First, because cigarettes contain nicotine, blood vessels constrict and shrink. Then immune cells and white blood cells in the body need to do the work of healing inflammation, but this process is slowed down by nicotine.

And when you smoke and exhale, smoke comes out through the nose and mouth.

The smoke suppresses and reduces the recovery of epithelial cells inside the nose, cilia, and other functions that help the nasal mucosa recover.

When the function of the nasal mucosa declines, the mucosa cannot work properly, so when outside air enters the nose, it cannot filter out substances such as viruses and bacteria, and the recovery of the wound area also decreases accordingly.

In conclusion, if you drink or smoke after surgery, recovery will be delayed and inflammation will occur internally.

So it is best not to do either for about 3 months after surgery, but since that can be difficult, we recommend absolutely no drinking or smoking for at least one month.

Are there any other nose surgery precautions besides alcohol and tobacco?

If you still want to drink or smoke after one month, you should do so as sparingly as possible, and it is important not to touch the surgical area or wound. In particular, hands are the dirtiest, so touching the wound area is like bringing bacteria to the surgical site.

Next, after surgery there is a lot of foreign material in the nose, swelling, and bleeding, so scabs tend to form a lot on the incision line and other areas, and the mucosa also swells. Because it is uncomfortable, if you touch it or try to remove foreign material yourself with a cotton swab, it can cause irritation, bleeding, increased swelling, or adhesion of the surgical areas.

Also, in the nose surgery precautions, because you need to prevent the implant or nose from becoming crooked, it is best to sleep straight for about 2 to 3 weeks if possible. Also, many people drop their phone while lying down, so be careful to avoid such problems.

You must never blow your nose forcefully or touch it. In addition, since the hospital provides more detailed instructions when you are discharged, there are parts you must follow according to those instructions. If, after surgery, your nose becomes excessively swollen, you have pain, or there is discharge, be sure to contact the hospital and come in right away.

Earlier, you talked about nose surgery precautions. What is helpful after nose surgery?

There is no need to eat special foods that supposedly improve immunity after nose surgery; simply not touching the wound area is enough.

Strenuous exercise such as jogging can also irritate the surgical area, so you should not do it. A simple walk is enough to speed up blood circulation and help the swelling go down faster. It also helps to keep your head above heart level as much as possible. For example, if you bend your head down to lift a heavy load, you may feel blood rushing to your face, and swelling can increase accordingly. Many people sleep while sitting up, but it is fine to sleep lying down as well, as long as your head is not positioned too low. Also, some people cry due to emotional changes after surgery, and crying can cause a lot of facial swelling, so it is good to stay emotionally calm. Pumpkin juice is not the main thing, but it can help, so it is fine to drink it.
