Rhinoplasty Recovery Is Something You Should Take Seriously - Part 1
Filed Under Atlanta Rhinoplasty Surgery |
After your rhinoplasty surgery, you must follow your surgeons instructions to the tee to have a full and quick recovery. One of the first things to expect is quite a bit of bruising and a swollen face. You will also feel like you are stuffed up with a nasal cold, but it’s just the trauma your nose and surrounding area just went through.
You may or may not have the packing that you’ve seen and heard, but if you apply ice you will help minimize the swelling and the pressure you feel. You can use regular ice or you can get a small bag of frozen peas or even berries. These two are better because they remain frozen longer, keeping your trips to the freezer at a minimum.
The bruising can look nearly frightening. Don’t be bothered by this. I know it’s easier said then done, but I’m sure your surgeon will show you some patient pictures to prepare you for what to expect. As these bruises heal, they will actually get even darker, so don’t worry.
One thing that is also very common is the ingestion of blood during the surgery. It can cause you to get sick and very nautious later on. Some patients throw up a couple of times, and it has nothing to do with the anesthesia. You may also get very tired of having to breath through your mouth and feeling stuffed up. It can grate on your emotions, and even cause an anxious state which can be mood-altering.
