Dos

-Apply the ice-pack around your face only for 3~5 days after surgery (2-minute intervals recommended). -In case of necessity, you may continue the ice-pack for another several days. -Keep your head elevated in the recovery period. -Try to keep your face upwards when you sleep. -If your nose bleeding shows slightly, change with a clean gauze and attach it to your nose underneath. (1~2 days after surgery). -Gently wipe your nose underneath only, if you have a runny nose. -You can wear sunglasses one month passed after surgery. -You have to breathe with your mouth after surgery until the nurse removed cotton in your nostrils (2~3 days after surgery).

Don'ts

-Do not put the ice-pack on your nose bridge. -The scabs may block your nose but do not blow or pick your nose by yourself. -Do not sleep face downwards or pressing your nose. -Do not bend over or facing down after surgery. -Do not wear any glasses or gives pressure on your nose bridge in the recovery period. -Do not remove the splint on your nose bridge or cotton in your nostrils by yourself.

Notice

-Breathing may feel a bit uncomfortable temporary due to the swelling of nasal passages after surgery. -Sight bleeding at 1st~2nd day after surgery is a normal reaction. -A correction of asymmetrical and deviated nose aims for the nose to be in a normal asymmetric range, but not to be corrected perfectly. -Most people have their own deviated nose shape of nature, and the nose would look apparent deviation once the nose bridge higher due to the swelling. -Rhinoplasty aimed for a straight angled front and side view of your face; thus, asymmetry of the nostrils can not be corrected 100% evenly.
