In cosmetic surgery procedures, the patient’s testimony is very important. knowing how the process and the postoperative period go in the first person helps people to be better informed and more at ease. for this reason, we want to explain the patient experience of nose surgery and how they feel at each moment.
We talk about the nose intervention process
At first, when we think about what needs to be done to change the shape and aesthetics of the nose, we imagine that recovery will take a long time, but this is not the case; this surgery has a process of approximately 15 days from the moment the patient undergoes the intervention.
From arrival at the hospital, there is continuous contact with the patient and periodic check-ups are carried out.
Step by step of the patient experience with nose surgery
The different steps of this operation are as follows:
- Surgery
- Removal of plugs at 24 hours
- Removal of splint at 7 days (afterwards tape bandage is applied)
- Finally, removal of the bandage and stitches in case the patient has them.
In this process, the patient is swollen during the first days and in some cases with bruises in the operated area, but as the days go by, the improvement is notable, always following the recommendations of the specialists.
What recommendations should be taken into account?
The medical team always gives the patient some guidelines to follow at home in order to have a good postoperative period. These are very simple steps to carry out at home that will help to achieve a good recovery and therefore a good result in a shorter time.
- comply with taking the prescribed medications.
- Apply local cold to the area to improve inflammation.
- Perform lymphatic drainage in the area.
- Elevate the head when sleeping.
- keep the nostrils clean with saline washes.
- Always attend check-ups with your doctor.
In most cosmetic operations, the processes focusing on recovery time are very similar. It always depends on the area treated.
It is also important to know that between 6 months and one year after the intervention, the final results will not be seen, since scarring can initially distort the results.
