What should I do before nose surgery?
The nose is an organ with very dense capillaries. Therefore, before starting the nose surgery, we administer medicines and painkillers that constrict the vessels. In this way, it is possible to perform this surgery without blood. However, bleeding is possible after rhinoplasty. We perform a very controlled surgery to prevent bleeding. Here are some things you should pay attention to. You should not use blood-thinning medications and nutritional supplements before this surgery. Do not use blood thinners, painkillers, hormone medications and flu medications.
Products that should not be used before surgery. Do you have a list?
Do not use the following products 1 month before your surgery date: fish oil, flaxseed, products containing omega 3, ginseng, garlic, ginger, vitamins. E. There is no problem with other vitamins (A, B, C, D). Apart from this, mixed herbal teas, legumes, broccoli, milk, etc. Gas-causing foods such as should not be consumed in excess. In order to prevent and reduce edema and swelling, it is necessary to stay away from mineral water, which is high in sodium, and foods high in salt, such as pickles. Stay away from blue, red and purple vegetables and fruits.
Are blood tests done before surgery?
Yes. In our routine practice, you come 3 days before your surgery (on the Monday of the week you will have the surgery) for surgery preparation. ECG, chest X-ray and blood tests that can detect bleeding disorders are performed. However, in some bleeding diseases, bleeding-coagulation tests may be completely normal. If you have had surgery before and your bleeding is more than normal, or if your bleeding lasts longer than normal when you are cut, you should warn us about this.
Can I have nose surgery during my period?
strong>
I try to avoid having nose surgery during menstruation. Although we cannot always achieve this due to busy surgery schedules, bleeding, swelling and bruising occur more frequently as the contraction properties of the nasal capillaries decrease due to edema. In addition, women become more sensitive and stressed during this period. Yet on this matter We are not very sharp.
One day before surgery:
Take a shower the day before surgery. and wash your face with antibacterial soap. Do not wear make-up or nail polish when coming to the surgery. Your psychology on the day of surgery is very important. Our patients who are not stressed get through this process very easily. The patient who sleeps comfortably wakes up comfortably.
What should I do after the surgery?
The day of your surgery You spend the night in the hospital. From that day on, sleep with 3 pillows for 1 week. I think that applying ice for 10-15 minutes every hour on the day of your surgery and the next day has very positive effects on swelling and bruising. It is important that you use the medications we prescribed regularly after your discharge. Apart from these:
- Do not stay in very hot places.
- Stay away from activities that will increase your blood pressure. Do not bend your head forward.
- You can touch your nose, just do not get hit. Even the smallest blows can cause pain while in a splint.
- Try to stay in an upright position except when sleeping.
- After the second day, you can go out and walk around, it will not get infected.
- It is placed inside the nose. You can breathe through silicones. These silicones can create a feeling of cold and cause a sneezing reflex. Don't panic, if you are going to sneeze, sneeze with your mouth open. If you have a sneeze, press your tongue against your palate, it usually goes away.
- At the end of the 2-week splint period, apply the massages I will show you several times a day.
- Do not do heavy sports for 1 month.
- Do not go to the sea for 1 month or the pool for 2 months.
- Do not wear glasses for at least 3 months.
Thank you for trusting us. Please never forget our promise to perform CAREFUL surgery and come to the hospital in peace.
