How to Reduce Nose Swelling after Rhinoplasty
Sometimes after having undergone rhinoplasty to get rid of a nose problem, your nose swells considerably. It continues to give you a reminder of your past nasal difficulty, leaving aside the discomfort with a ballooned nose. It also looks odd at first. When the rest of the nose heals within a month of the surgery, the stubborn tip can sometimes retains the swelling for six months to even a year, but there are ways to avoid this problem. After you start wearing the splint and the tape on your nose post-surgery, keep them from getting wet. Use at least two pillows to keep your head lifted up above your heart while sleeping at night. Punctuate the removal of the tape with ice pack application on your nose tip a couple of times every day. Do not bend to lift things or any heavy items and stay away from any such activity that can push the blood up your head for at least one to one and half months. If pain or any abnormal swelling persists, immediately consult your plastic surgeon. The Nose Huggie is an alternative to Rhinoplasty. Not only does it make the nose smaller, but it makes it straighter as well. Should you choose surgery, be sure to strictly follow what your doctor advises.
