How To Speed Up Rhinoplasty Recovery?

Everyone’s body heals at a different rate, however following instructions for post-op care will help to ensure that the recovery period is minimised. Most medical centres will provide aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. This may include a post-operative diet which will help the healing process.

It is important to get rest for the first 7-10 days and then slowly increase the physical activity level. Other tips include avoiding unnecessary anti-inflammatory medication which may increase swelling and bleeding, use ice packs (or a packet of frozen peas) on the nose and cheeks to reduce swelling, avoid spicy food and limit salt intake, avoid stress and have a positive attitude. In addition it is important to attend any follow-up appointment so the recovery can be monitored.
