Nose Surgery Precautions at Kokoline

This is Kokoline :)  Today, let’s talk about precautions for nose surgery. Precautions are divided into before nose surgery and after nose surgery,  and today we’ll look at the precautions before nose surgery. 

First of all, the most important thing before and after surgery is your physical condition. If your condition is significantly low even before surgery,  there may be problems with recovery or with inflammation after surgery. From one week before surgery, you should take good care of yourself so you do not catch a cold and do not become overly tired.

Another precaution for nose surgery is abstaining from alcohol. When you drink, your condition naturally declines, so it is important to avoid alcohol for 3 to 4 days before surgery.

Medication use is also important. If you are currently taking any medication, you should contact the hospital where the surgery will be performed and check whether you may continue taking it or need to stop. If you are taking aspirin-based medication, you should stop taking it.

Nose surgery is usually performed under sedation anesthesia. To receive anesthesia, you must fast for 6 hours before surgery. Here, fasting means not only food but also all beverages. You should not even drink water, so be sure to remember that!

Smoking is included in both the preoperative and postoperative precautions. Secondhand smoke can also affect the recovery process and the period before surgery, so you should avoid it. Of course, direct smoking should be avoided even more! If you smoke, it is possible again only after one month following surgery.

Nose surgery precautions may seem like no big deal, but if they are not properly followed, you may not be able to undergo the surgery.

For those who are having surgery at Kokoline, or are preparing for surgery, please be sure to follow the parts that the hospital says must be followed!!
