Care and Cure The Nose With Rhinoplasty Surgery
The nose is the center of the face, and how it looks has a lot of effect on your overall look. You may have the prettiest eyes or the best hair but all that is nothing if your nose doesn’t look good on you.
A lot of people wants to get a nose job, also called a rhinoplasty, but are afraid of the down time after it. There are two main effects to having a nose job, which are the bruising and swelling.
Before going any further, we need to understand that the recovery after a nose job doesn’t happen in a blink of an eye.
You must have read somewhere that the average recovery time for a rhinoplasty is one year, but this is only because the healing has different stages.
When it comes to swelling, it’s most obvious a week after the cast is removed from the nose
By the end of second week, a casual observer will not notice that an operation has been made on the nose although the patient would still notice it since of course; you see the difference before and after the operation.
By the third or fourth month, the swelling would have almost been gone although the nose would still look a little puffy on photographs.
In most cases, it would take a year for the aftermath of the operation to fully heal.
Bruising is also a normal side effect caused by a nose job, and the factors causing this are contributed by both the patient and the surgical techniques used by the doctor.
There are several techniques used in rhinoplasty that could cause bruising
Osteotomies, for example, or the breaking of the nasal bones would cause bruising on the patient.
Whether the surgery was performed open or close will also determine the extent of the bruising.
The patient’s skin thickness, age, bleeding tendencies/ disorders and nutrition are also factors that would contribute to the bruising.
To minimize bruising after the operation, the patient needs to avoid medications that thin the blood for at least two weeks before the operation.
It’s also important that you do not resume taking them until you get approval from your doctor.
If you tend to blood easily, or a member of the family does, you need to discuss this with your physician prior to having rhinoplasty.
It’s also best to keep your head elevated than your heart to minimize edema or swelling.
