Aftercare for the rhinoplasty
When will smoking and drinking be possible after nose surgery?
In addition to plastic surgery, smoking and drinking must be avoided for a certain period of time after any kind of surgery
But sometimes people think that eye surgery or nose surgery is easy and simple, and sometimes asks if it’s possible to smoke or drink alcohol.
However, smoking and drinking after nose surgery are among the most prohibited thing to do.
Drinking and smoking can interfere with wound healing and delay healing time.
Among them, smoking lowers blood circulation, reduces blood flow, increases the risk of inflammation, slows mucosal wound healing, and can cause edema. Smoking should be stopped at least 4 weeks after surgery.
Drinking is just as bad as smoking. Drinking can lead to swelling, delaying the recovery of wounds, and especially if you have low alcohol neutralization ability and easily gets swollen.
In addition, drinking alcohol can reduce the immunity and it may cause inflammation, so drinking alcohol, like smoking, should be avoided for at least 4 weeks after the surgery.
After nose surgery, restraining severe exercise or activity for at least one month will help recovery.
It is also important to avoid touching your nose.
Stimulating or touching the surgical area can increase the possibility of inflammation or side effects. If you have any questions about the surgical site, you should contact the hospital for a consultation.
