Steps to return to normal life after surgery
Care after nose surgery to speed up the healing process includes the following steps that must be followed carefully.
Step 1:
The first week after rhinoplasty, the surgeon removes the plaster from the nose and glues it on the nose. The patient can leave home without any signs of surgery. Of course, if there is a bruise around the eyes, it will take 2 weeks to heal. After this time, doing daily activities does not cause any problems.
Step 2:
Two weeks after the surgery, the swelling of the nose and its surroundings will decrease and the bruising will also disappear.
Step 3:
Three to four weeks after surgery, you can do light sports activities, such as running, to make the cardiovascular system more active..
Step 4:
Six weeks after the surgery, the bones have gained enough strength and you can do a little heavier sports. You can also use glasses.
Step 5:
About three to six months after the surgery, the abnormal sensations or numbness created after the surgery will disappear.
Step 6:
About a year after the surgery, the swelling has disappeared and the new shape of the nose is defined.
