There are rules that should be done and paid attention to after rhinoplasty. In order for the patient to be more comfortable and more satisfied, he/she should pay attention to his/her nutrition. A special nutrition programme is not prescribed after rhinoplasty. However, the patient should pay attention to nutrition. And as a result, a faster recovery will be seen in the patient. At first, care should be taken to avoid constipation and pulp foods should be included in the menu. Because constipation triggers nosebleeds in the patient as it will also bring straining. This bleeding is possible while the wound is still fresh. Too much hot and steamy foods should be avoided while eating. Very boiled foods such as soup and milk should be avoided. However, foods containing protein should be consumed more. Protein is an effective vitamin in healing wounds. For this reason, care should be taken to consume protein-containing foods such as meat, fish, white meat, eggs, and foods containing vitamin C such as oranges, strawberries, lemons, tangerines, kiwi in certain proportions. In addition, cigarettes, cigars and pipes should be avoided. Because such nicotine-containing products always negatively affect the flow in the blood, so it will also negatively affect a successful nose surgery. Edema and swelling will be seen in the patient after nose surgery. A salt-free diet is recommended to reduce these oedemas. Salt supplements should not be added to foods. Again, patients should stay away from heavy fried foods in order to pay attention to general health.
Smoking and Alcohol Use After Rhinoplasty
Smoking and alcohol use More or less people have a general knowledge or experience about smoking and alcohol use. Because with the developing technology, information and advertisements are everywhere in front of the eyes. In order to have a conscious society structure, it is necessary to pay attention to these applications. If we consider the changes that cigarettes make in the body in terms of health, cigarettes have an effect that slows down the flow in the blood. Because nicotine in cigarettes triggers this.
Nose aesthetics Any patient who wants to have a nose aesthetic should also have a good general health condition. Many controls from blood values to heart health should be investigated and examined. In addition, if you are a smoker, you should stop smoking for a while. Because the important point in aesthetic surgeries is the regular healing of the suture line. As we know, smoking disrupts the blood supply and tissue oxygenation on the suture. It interrupts cell regeneration with thousands of toxic substances it contains.
The most important thing necessary for wound healing is that the blood circulation in that area is very good and the blood supply and oxygen to that area is an important issue. Smoking reduces the blood flow in the operation area. It prevents the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood to that area. In addition to smoking, you should not even enter the smoking environment. Alcohol causes water retention in the body and dryness in the skin. And it delays the thawing in the operation area.
