Breathing after rhinoplasty, how to take care of my nose?

-
One of the common inconvenience that patients may experience after rhinoplasty is breathing through the nose. Nose will be covered, it will start swelling, and you will have runny nose which you'll feel very cumbersome.

Today's post will let you know how to breath after rhinoplasty and to take a good care of your nose after surgery.  

You will have a gauze placed under your nose right after the surgery, but don't take it out right after when you go back home, or even if the blood stops running. If you have a gauze placed inside the nose, it's possible to take it out after the one day.

If you have too much runny nose that bothers you from breathing, then it's OK to gently dab the area, but not to rub it too hard. However, be careful not to touch the implant, or cartilage before they settle in. Therefore, avoid from blowing nose too hard, touching the nose often, putting your head down or wearing glasses. Avoiding external shocks to your nose should be followed until the first 6 weeks. Also, keep the humidifier near you to prevent from nose dryness.


Washing a face is what most patients are curious about. Light washing with water is possible after taking out the stitches. Stitches will be taken out usually after 2 weeks and until that period, avoid from contacting water with the surgical area. When washing your face, don't rub your nose hard or let cleanser go inside your nose.

It's important to bring the best result after the surgery. Please keep in mind not to give your nose any form of a irritation for at least a month.

The laser procedure that you're worried about before the holidays, "If you want it to work, you have to choose according to your symptoms." The fine weather these days is good for a picnic, but the fatigue of the skin increases. This is because the atmosphere is dry and the oil and moisture of the skin is escaping, making it rough and prone to wrinkles, and strong UV rays can irritate the skin, causing freckles and blemishes. This is why laser treatments are popular these days, which can solve skin problems relatively quickly and easily. In fact, more and more inquiries are being made to improve skin and aging problems with laser procedures ahead of the holiday season in early October, which is followed by a series of Chuseok and alternative holidays. The most representative procedure is lifting laser. Lifting laser is a direct examination of high-intensity focused ultrasonography (HIFU) to the peritoneal layer in line with current skin condition, soft tissue and degree o...

 Jaw protrusion refers to a protruding lower jaw that makes the profile resemble a shovel. Typically, when the lower jaw develops, the chin at the end of the lower jaw also develops, resulting in a protruding chin typical of a shovel jaw. The extent of chin protrusion is determined by comparing how much the chin protrudes compared to the lower lip when viewed from the side. Interestingly, when analyzing shovel jaws, you can discover a surprising fact. As mentioned earlier, while there are cases where the chin protrudes significantly, there are also many cases where it does not. It's not always the case that the chin protrudes just because the lower jaw is already developed. Sometimes, it might appear that the chin protrudes due to its position relative to the already protruding lower jaw, but in reality, the chin itself may not protrude more than average. So, how can we determine whether it's a shovel jaw or not, if not solely based on chin development? The answer lies in the a...
