After nose surgery

• 

  Swelling and posture during nose recovery

  Rest comfortably until at least day 3. For about 1 month from immediately after surgery, irritating the surgical area or doing activities that raise your blood pressure may cause sudden swelling. Avoid lifting heavy objects or bending your head down.

  1. Sleep on your back.2. Recovery varies from person to person, but significant swelling and bruising subside within 1–4 weeks. Mild swelling may persist for up to 6 months.3. For 2 weeks after surgery, avoid oily, spicy and salty foods, as they may affect swelling and strain your digestive system.

• 

  Cold and warm compresses

  Swelling is greatest during the first 3–4 days after surgery.Apply cold compresses frequently for 1 week.

• 

  Wound care

  Minor bleeding may occur from the day of surgery through day 3. Gently wipe only the outside with a clean tissue or gauze, without irritating the area.Never blow your nose, even if it feels blocked!

  Depending on the surgical method, cotton packing inside the nose and skin-colored tape on the outside are used to prevent wound infection, provide compression and hold the implant in place. Do not remove them yourself.

• 

  Scar care

  Protect the wound from UV exposure, as UV rays may cause dark pigmentation at the wound site.

• 

  Washing your face, showering and makeup

  Until your stitches are removed, gently wipe away tears and eye discharge with clean gauze.From the day after your stitches and splint are removed, you may resume regular face washing with minimal irritation.You may wear makeup after at least 1 week, but avoid irritating your skin.

• 

  Glasses

  You may wear contact lenses from day 3 after surgery. Wait at least 1 month before wearing glasses.You may also purchase and wear lightweight glasses specifically designed for use after nose surgery.

• 

  Exercise and sauna

  Strenuous exercise puts pressure on the nose and carries a risk of impact. Gentle walks and stretching are fine, but wait at least 1 month, until recovery has stabilized, before strenuous exercise. Warm water and heat in a sauna may cause the stitched area to open, allowing bacteria to enter and cause infection, so wait at least 1 month before using a sauna as well.

• 

  Alcohol and smoking

  Alcohol and smoking weaken the immune system and can cause infection and inflammation. Focus on caring for the surgical area for at least 1 month after surgery.
