After a rhinoplasty surgery, it is important to sleep in a specific position for the first few days. Your surgeon will advise you to sleep with your head elevated at a 30 to 45-degree angle for the first week. This can help to reduce swelling and bruising, and also minimize the risk of bleeding.
You may be advised to use pillows to prop your head up or to sleep in a recliner chair. Sleeping on your back is also recommended, as sleeping on your side or stomach can put pressure on the nose and cause discomfort or displacement of the nasal splint.
It is important to follow your surgeon's specific instructions for sleeping and resting after rhinoplasty to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
