Here are some things to avoid after a rhinoplasty procedure:
1. Avoid blowing your nose for at least a week after surgery, as this can disrupt the healing process and cause bleeding.
2. Avoid any strenuous activity, heavy lifting, or bending over for the first few days after surgery to minimize the risk of bleeding.
3. Avoid smoking or being around smokers, as this can delay healing and increase the risk of infection.
4. Avoid alcohol consumption for at least a week after surgery, as it can increase the risk of bleeding and delay the healing process.
5. Avoid taking any blood-thinning medications or supplements, such as aspirin or vitamin E, for at least a week before and after surgery, unless advised by your surgeon.
6. Avoid wearing glasses that rest on the bridge of your nose for the first few weeks after surgery, as this can put pressure on the healing tissue.
7. Avoid exposing your nose to direct sunlight or tanning beds, as this can cause discoloration or swelling.
It's important to follow all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.
