Why is there swelling after nose surgery?

Nose surgery involves shaping the cartilage and bone, or inserting an implant to raise the nose bridge which causes damage to the surrounding tissues. As the damaged areas heal, swelling occurs.

1. The basics of swelling care is using cold packs!

 
> Do not use cold or hot packs directly on the nose.
Some people who want to quickly reduce swelling, directly apply cold packs to the nose. However, this should be avoided at all costs. Pushing down on the nose could cause the implant and nasal cartilage to change shape or even more. That is why you should instead apply hot or cold packs gently around the nose for example the eye areas, smile lines, lips and etc.

> Do apply cold packs to reduce swelling.
Swelling occurs right after nose surgery, and gets more severe 2~3 days after surgery. This occurs because plasma leaks into the surrounding tissues and cause them to swell. It is important to reduce plasma discharge by applying cold packs. Cold packs help to suppress plasma discharge and should be done continuously to reduce the amount of swelling that occurs.

2. Avoid impact and pressure on the nose so that the nose can heal properly.

 
> Pushing or pressing the nose is prohibited!
For about 4 weeks after nose surgery, the cartilage and implant need time to settle in place. Blowing your nose sideways, scrunching your nose, or touching it can cause the implant to move or change shape. If you wear glasses, you should avoid wearing glasses for at least 4 weeks. However, depending on the surgery received and surgical method used it may be possible to wear glasses. Check with your clinic or doctor to make sure.

> Make sure to avoid impact on your nose during everyday activities.
For 4 weeks after surgery, avoid very crowded places, and be sure to avoid running into lamps and accidents which can cause impact to your nose. For the first 3 days after surgery, sleep on an elevated pillow or sleeping while seated helps swelling reduce quicker.

3. Taking light walks can help you recovery quicker.

 
> Improved blood circulation helps swelling reduce faster.
Applying hot packs after surgery helps to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling. Taking light walks and light exercise including stretching improves blood circulation which helps the body get rid of fluids which can cause swelling.

> Movements that involve lowering the head and back, running, and stress should be avoided!Raising and lowering your head often and running excessively can adversely affect your healing. It takes approximately 4 weeks for the nose to settle properly and thus excessive work outs should be avoided for at least 3 months. Healing times vary per the individual but most swelling should heal over 3~6 months. Do not stress too much if you think swelling is not healing as fast as you like and try to relax and be stress free. However, if you feel there is too much swelling remaining there are treatments available at the clinic to aid you.

4. Take medication timely and as prescribed. 

> Taking medication as prescribed can help prevent more swelling and inflammation.
Medication is important in helping to manage swelling. The medicine prescribed from the clinic not only helps you recover quicker, but also contains antibiotics which help prevent inflammation. Therefore, medication should be taken as prescribed. Managing inflammation can help prevent swelling as well as lead to a quicker recovery.

> Smoking and drinking should be avoided, and getting adequate nutrition is necessary while recovering.
If you went on a diet before surgery, after surgery you should take a break from dieting. Adequate nutrition is important for the body to heal as well as improve the immune system. While recovering, it is ideal to keep your body in the best possible condition for faster healing.

Smoking and drinking should be avoided regardless of the surgery received. Smoking especially should be avoided if you smoke and blow through your nose. Smoking and drinking alcohol can cause infection and should be avoided for at least 1 month.
 
*Depending on the individual, general complications which can occur after surgery include bleeding, infection, inflammation, and etc.
