What to pay attention to in nose reduction surgery

  The first is the management of pain after nasal reduction surgery: nasal and eye stinging pain may occur for 24 hours after nasal reduction surgery, and pain medication may be taken for severe pain.  The healing process of the nose reduction surgery wound: for a relatively short period of time after nose reduction surgery, tissue swelling and bandages may block the nostrils and breathing may be assisted by the mouth. The eyes, nose and lips are connected, and the eyes may be swollen and bruised within 1 week after the nose reduction surgery even though the nose reduction surgery area does not reach the eyes. It takes 2 weeks for the swelling of the nose to subside significantly and 6 weeks for it to cease to be noticeable. Wrapping: The nose is the most complicated to wrap, not only on the outside, but also on the inside to support and in some cases to splint. All these measures are taken for the shaping of the external nose.  Care of the nasal reduction surgery incision: The key to incision care is to sneeze less, not blow your nose and breathe through your mouth. After nasal reduction surgery, the nostrils are often stuffed with cotton balls, oil gauze, rubber tubes, etc. These items may be sprayed out when sneezing. If sneezing is unavoidable and the stuffing has been ejected, you should seek immediate medical attention for appropriate treatment and do not use the dislodged items again or replace them by yourself.  Forceful nose blowing not only causes severe nasal pain but also nasal bleeding. Within 2-4 weeks after nose reduction surgery, nasal snot can be first lightly washed into the mouth and spit out from the mouth. When blowing the nose, the pressure inside the nose may also cause the gas to enter the subcutaneous part of the nose through the intranasal incision, resulting in temporary subcutaneous nasal emphysema. Breathing through the mouth is a matter of last resort.  When the nostrils are completely blocked bilaterally, the mouth is the only way to breathe. Patients often have trouble eating and sleeping as a result, and their mouth and lips are unbearably dry. To relieve the dryness of the mouth and lips, lip balm, petroleum jelly and other moisturizing skin care products can be applied to the mouth and lips, and wet gauze can also be used to wipe the mouth and lips frequently.
