How to Prepare for Surgery Before Rhinoplasty?

The nose is an organ that has both functional and visual importance. For this reason, rhinoplasty surgery aims not only to correct the visual appearance, but also to eliminate breathing problems. Rhinoplasty also corrects deformities in the nose and physical and functional disorders that cause difficulty in breathing. The important thing is; It is not a standard nose surgery, but a natural nose shape suitable for the patient's needs and face, as well as a healthy nasal breathing that breathes comfortably.

Patients apply to aesthetic nose surgeons with various complaints; excessively large nose, wide nose, arched nose, short nose, wide nostrils, curved nose, low nasal tip. What can be done is discussed mutually and the most appropriate surgery is planned in line with their expectations. The general health status of the patients is also evaluated during the interview. Although there is no strict age restriction, it is recommended to be over the age of 18.

What is the Recovery Process After Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Recovery after rhinoplasty surgery is not accelerated by external intervention and medications. Aesthetic nose surgery recovery is a long process and requires patience and time. Rhinoplasty surgery recovery is completed in 6 months to 1 year in thin-skinned noses. This period can take a period of time ranging from 1 to 2 years in thick-skinned noses. Please give yourself time to reach the best state of your nose.

Although there is some excitement before rhinoplasty surgery, it is usually comfortable after rhinoplasty. You can be discharged from the hospital and go home the same day or the next day after the surgery. Sometimes you may need to stay in the hospital overnight. You should not eat or drink anything for 4-6 hours after nose surgery. You can wet your lips for dryness that may occur in your mouth. It is recommended that you start eating light watery foods. There is not much pain after nose surgery. If there are complaints such as mild pain, nausea and vomiting, they can be controlled with medication. Resting with your head elevated will reduce your problems. There may be a slight bloody leakage from the nose for the first two days after aesthetic nose surgery. You should spend the first two days after the surgery resting.

On the third day, you can return to your daily activities that are not too strenuous. The most important rule is to protect the nose from impacts after the surgery and to protect the nose from harsh traumas such as pinching, pulling, hand blowing for the first two months. MOUTH MUST BE OPEN IN SPHYING, which is a reflex and cannot be prevented. Soft blowing with breath and nasal care can be done with sea water.

When Does Nasal Swelling and Edema Pass?

After aesthetic surgeries, swelling occurs in more or less all noses and around the eyes. Cold ice application for 10 to 15 minutes per hour for the first three days around the eyes after rhinoplasty reduces swelling. Swelling around the nose peaks in the first three days and starts to decrease after the third day. After 5 to 7 days after the nasal intervention, there is no significant edema and the swelling is largely reduced. While it takes 6 to 12 months for the edema in the nose to completely decrease and the nose to take its final form, this period is longer in individuals with thick nasal skin and can take 1 to 2 years. In terms of the process of nasal swelling, the eye area heals first. Then the middle of the back of the nose and then the swelling of the nose near the eyebrows and finally the nasal tip edema goes down.

Recovery after rhinoplasty surgery takes time and requires patience. Your first check-up after rhinoplasty surgery will be on the 10th day and you will be mostly healed by the end of this period. In this control, the soft silicone tubes inside the nose and the thermoplastic splint on top are removed. You may not get used to your first appearance due to swelling and you may not even like it. Most of the swelling on your face goes down in 3 to 5 days. If bruising occurs, it usually resolves spontaneously within two weeks. Bruise healing can sometimes take up to 1 month and can also be seen on the whites of the eyes. You should not wear glasses for the first 2 months after rhinoplasty surgery. It will take up to a year for your nose to take its final shape. Recovery is a long process that cannot be accelerated and requires patience and time. Please give yourself time to get used to your new face.

Human bodies respond differently to injury and healing. Each body cell organization forms a unique and special structure that is unlike any other. This is why each body reacts differently to the same or similar events. Human faces have a unique richness that is never alike, even though they are made up of the same structures. Since no two faces and noses are alike, the results will be different.
