Some people opt for rhinoplasty because they're not satisfied with the shape and size of their nose. Every operation takes time to recover and it's really big discomfort, so here are some tips to heal faster than the average person.
Swelling and bruising are normal after the operation. The patient will experience it for more than a week, but it's much better if the swelling is checked by your doctor. You must avoid taking aspirin, vitamin C, E and ibuprofen after the surgery for at least 3-4 weeks. This will just increase the swelling and delay your recovery.
You have to limit your everyday activities as your nose is still regenerating and it is very fragile. Avoid activities that can cause injury and trauma. It can make things worse. Your nose might shift or pain might occur if these things happen. You can put a cold compress over your nose. You may use a frozen cloth or a soft pack. This will serve as a temporary relief for bruising and swelling. You must do this after 24 hours after the surgery.
Also, avoid touching your nose. Our hands touch many things and if you are unsure if it's clean and touch it, infection might occur. When you're sleeping, make sure you'll not hit your nose on the sides of your bed or a pillow. You can sleep in a reclining position, you may use three pillows, and this will help drain the fluid inside your nose. Never take pain reliever because this will make your blood thinner which makes you more prone to bleeding and swelling. Take the recommended medication, which is prescribed by your doctor.
If you experience any pain, ask your doctor what's the best medicine for it. Before doing anything when you're in recovery, the best thing you need to do is consult your surgeon. By doing this, your recovery might go smoothly and you will not experience any complications.
