Prepare For Rhinoplasty Surgery
A rhinoplasty is a surgical treatment where the patient's nose is reshaped. Patients with unequal nose forms typically have rhinoplasty surgery. The rhinoplasty procedure enhances your confidence and self-image.
The following list of dos and don'ts will aid in your recovery:
Do's
- Ask a family member or friend to provide transportation for you to and from the surgery.
- For the next two days, there should be a caregiver to make sure you have help with any physical tasks that come up.
- To remove any form of bacteria, properly wash your face prior to operation.
- Take a week or two off from working at the office. You are unable to go to work until the cast and sutures are taken off.
- Before your operation, complete your outstanding and future tasks.
- Choose a time that is as convenient as possible for your rhinoplasty.
Don'ts
- On the day of surgery, avoid wearing any makeup or styling products in your hair. There is no need to wear any cosmetics, not even lip balm.
- Avoid drinking alcohol before and after surgery since it will dehydrate you.
- Prior to surgery, wait at least 7-9 hours without drinking or eating anything.
- Do not experience tension or anxiety; instead, have faith in your plastic surgeon and express any concerns you may have.
- Don't take over-the-counter medications like the NSAID ibuprofen, which can impair your outcomes.
- Avoid smoking since it might obstruct your nasal passages and reduce blood flow.
- Exercise is not recommended; only brisk walking and light lifting during household tasks are advised.
