There are individual differences in the recovery process
Swelling and morphological changes after rhinoplasty are related to the scope of surgery, personal constitution, and nursing methods. Early appearance does not represent the final stabilization effect, and follow-up should be arranged according to the doctor.
Focus on daily care
- Clean and take medicine according to your doctor's advice, and do not add or stop taking medicine yourself.
- Avoid squeezing and bumping your nose, and follow your doctor's guidance in your sleeping posture and whether you need fixation.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and activities that may cause collisions in the short term.
What situations need to contact a doctor
If you experience persistent worsening pain, significant fever, abnormal secretions, massive bleeding from the wound, or significantly affected breathing, you should contact the operating institution in time and seek medical treatment if necessary.
How to view the pattern during the recovery period
Early swelling may cause left-right asymmetry or a hard tip of the nose, and the result cannot be judged based on photos taken alone on a given day. The doctor can be fully informed of changes and discomfort during follow-up visit.
