How to Reduce the SWELLING after Undergoing RHINOPLASTY?

Swelling is very common for patients to experience after a rhinoplasty procedure. In the event that you're experiencing uncomfortable swelling, the first thing to do is to understand that this is perfectly normal. The good news is that there are a few easy steps you can take to prevent further swelling and often even reduce the swelling that's currently present. Whenever possible, “live healthily.” What this means is to focus on reducing or cutting out entirely the amount that you might smoke or drink, and eat foods which are both good for your body and won't put unnecessary strain on your nasal area. This usually means foods that don't require a significant amount of chewing. You may also find that swelling is reduced by using bromeline extract, eating fresh fruits such as pineapples, and sleeping so that you're laying on your back and your head is elevated. Reduce the amount of heat in your showers or baths, as this can occasionally increase swelling. Avoid strenuous exercise and walk rather than jog or run. Anything that causes your face to feel strained, which can range from lifting heavy items to even simply laying down in a certain manner, should be avoided. Speak with a qualified medical professional about any concerns you may have after your rhinoplasty surgery. Some swelling is normal, but high levels of pain or facial discomfort are usually not. The professionals at Edelstein Cosmetic can offer you assistance and advise for how to best endure the short recovery period after rhinoplasty.
