pre and post operative instructions

Morning after surgery

• You will be seen in the treatment room by the surgeon.
• Your nasal pack will be removed and your surgery checked.
• You will keep your plaster cast on; it will be removed at your first post op appointment.

After rhinoplasty surgery

• Get up and around after 24 hours.
• Eat cool, soft foods only for 24 hours after surgery.
• Wash face gently with cool water only for 24 hours. Keep the dressing dry until your post operative visit.
• Apply ice compresses intermittently for 48 hours under eyes to help alleviate swelling.
• Do not bend forward.
• Open your mouth when sneezing. Do not blow your nose for two weeks.
• Under NO Circumstances touch or poke your nose with any foreign objects.
• The plaster dressing will be removed after approximately seven days at your post op visit.
• You will encounter swelling and bruising which will subside in due course.
• Avoid strenuous activity for approximately six weeks. Too much strenuous exercise too soon may cause bleeding.

• Do not take aspirin for at least one week following surgery.
