When does my bruise and swelling go after surgery?
In the photo on above, the patient undergoing rhinoplasty can see how the eye area bruises increase and disappear within days.
After the nasal aesthetic surgery, bruising and bloating may be noticed in patients with thin skin structure and arched nose, within the hours of the surgery, under the eyes, and in the areas of the skin next to the nose. In patients who meet general care guidelines, these bruises usually disappear after 2 weeks. It may take months for the swellings to completely stay in the middle; In the first 3 weeks, most of your swollen wipes out very quickly. After the rhinoplasty operation, there is a time to healing. Depending on the type of surgery, it can last 6 to 12 months. The nasal swelling may be longer in thicker patients, especially at the tip of the nose. Sometimes it takes up to 2 years ...
After nose surgery is completed, it should be rested at home. However, after 2 days they can return to school or to a non-exhausting business life. Returning to the daily routine can take several weeks. Certainly the patient should get more detailed information from the surgeon before going through the normal daily life. A person with aesthetic surgery should avoid at least 2 weeks of exercise and exercise that requires high effort (running, swimming, etc.). Keep your nose for 8 weeks and be gentle and careful when washing your face while you are wearing makeup. Also, if you are wearing eyeglasses, be sure to wear eyeglasses after removing the splint and do not sit on the back of your glasses for 2 months. It will be more useful to use contact lenses when needed. Your doctor will often call the control.
• Patients who are taken to the room immediately after a nasal surgery may often have signs of chills or chills. This can also be seen as a result of muscle relaxant medications given during general anesthesia. In this case, there is no inconvenience in the patient's suture; heating of the patient's room, keeping the patient's head horizontally in the center of the heart can increase the speed of the face in a very fast way. Without consulting your doctor, please do not heat the patient's room!
• After aesthetic nose surgery, there is not much pain as it used to be; Sensitive individuals with low levels of pain relief can use pain relievers over the normal postoperative dose. Taking drugs with antinflammatory properties (roughly containing painkillers containing active ingredient other than paracetamol as an active ingredient) in the early postoperative period can increase bleeding and mor- bation by acting like an aspirin-like effect. Please do not use any medication without consulting your doctor!
• Bleeding - it may be true that plants such as garlic, which can have an effect on clotting, are not defeated in early laying.
• After surgery, sportive activities, exercises that may increase blood pressure in the head area may increase morale. For example, I would suggest lifting the head by tilting the head (I am 45 minutes walk from the day after the surgery, 2 days after the surgery, late evening in cool air). Please do not start the exerciser without consulting your doctor!
• Feeding with hot products after nasal aesthetic surgery, face steam (going to the sauna), walking in the sun can cause post-operative edema and increased bruising. Please do not go to the sauna early in the morning without consulting your doctor and do not walk in the sunny hours!
• Cold compress may be beneficial especially after the first nose and throat surgery. The cold application should not be continuous zero zero degree, ie constant ice application is wrong. If there is no bleeding at zero, tissue healing is adversely affected. Do not apply cold continuously without consulting your doctor!
• Use of medications that may have an effect on blood clotting in a few days before surgery may lead to excessive post-operative bruising (link to the list of risky medications that should not be used before surgery and detailed information) >> Rhinoplasty Recovery Guides 👃 - 50 Individual Topics About Nose Job
