What are the rules that patients should follow before and after rhinoplasty surgery?

Bruising and swelling on the face after rhinoplasty are more or less common after every surgery. After the operation, intermittent ice is applied for approximately 48 hours, while the patient should lie in an upright position. The resulting swelling and bruising are mostly in 7-10 days. the day will pass. Close contact sports should be avoided for a long time after the surgery, and the nose should be protected against impacts as much as possible. Salt water solutions and moisturizing sprays are recommended for intranasal crusting that continues up to one month after surgery. Patients who underwent surgery during the summer period should stay away from direct sunlight for at least 3 months and use a hat and high factor sunscreens to protect from the sun. Glasses should be avoided for 6 months after rhinoplasty.
