HEALING PROCESS AFTER RHINOPLASTY
HEALING PROCESS AFTER RHINOPLASTY
What is the healing
process like after rhinoplasty?
There are many factors that determine
the healing process after a nose surgery such as the
utilised techniques, performed interventions, severity of the case, thickness
of the skin and healing ability of your body. Revision
cases and thick skinned patients require longer time for
the healing comparing to the primary cases and thin skinned
patients regardless of the type of the surgery. In order to avoid any kind of
dissappointments before undergoing a rhinoplasty one should make a good research,
fully understand and realise that achieving the final results requires a
certain amount of time.
How long is the healing process after Closed Atraumatic Rhinoplasty?
As the Closed Atraumatic Technique is the
least invasive way of reshaping the nose, patients operated by Assoc.Prof.Dr.SuleymanTAS don’t have bruising but the minimal swelling on the 7th day after
the surgery and presentable enough to socialize and resume their daily lives.
Midterm results can be achieved after 2 months, as for the final results it
takes at least one year depending on the patients healing
ability and thickness of the skin. This time frame is significantly more with
the open technique and may require up to 3 years. Thick skin
recovery requires patience from the patients as it takes longer time. You may
understand it better with this example: a thick type of skin
is like a big sponge that absorbs more liquid, therefore needs more time to become
completely dry rather than the thin sponge.
How can the recovery process be optimized?
First of all, the patient needs to follow precisely
all post op recommendations provided by his/her doctor in order to achieve the
best possible results and make sure to attend the follow up appointments. Special
massage techniques developed by Assoc.Prof.Dr.Suleyman TAS
stimulate the lymphatic points on the nose and accelarate the swelling
reduction. As the skin gets oily after the surgery it is important
to have an intensive skin care. Excessive sebum may cause blackheads and acne
problem on the skin which will delay the reduction of the swellings. Healthy lifestyle, protein rich
nutrition, avoiding any kind of injuries and certainly positive
thinking play important roles in the proper recovery
process.
What
is the psychological aspect of the healing process like?
As I have
mentioned above undergoing a rhinoplasty should be a well-considered decision. One
should understand that rhinoplasty causes major changes not
only on the nose, but will affect the whole face, therefore need to choose a right
time and a right surgeon after being informed about all consequent
results. The recovery will be smoother and easier when you keep living daily
lives without paying more attention to your nose than before. Furthermore, realising
that the whole changes during the recovery process are temporary will get you
rid of the unnecessary concerns. In summary, the positive thinking
and good mood have positive impacts on the healing process.
