Precautions after hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty How to care after hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty

Hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty is a very popular and simple rhinoplasty method with very low risk. So what are the precautions after hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty? Let's learn about it together.

In the early stage of hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty, there will be a needle hole on the day after the injection. You must protect the area and don't let it get infected or touch water. You must pay attention to protecting it on the first day. There will be slight swelling in the first week after the injection. Some people will be anxious and worried about what to do. In fact, this process is very short. Just relax and wait patiently for this process to pass. It usually takes about a week. After the operation, I hope that the hyaluronic acid can last longer. In life, you should eat a lighter diet, avoid strenuous exercise, and accelerate local blood circulation. Do these things less, and avoid pushing and kneading. These are the main aspects.

1. Use ice packs for local cold compresses in the early stage after hyaluronic acid injection rhinoplasty to reduce postoperative swelling. Starting from the 5th day after surgery, local hot compresses should be applied to promote recovery.

2. Those who undergo simple rhinoplasty do not need to be hospitalized. They should rest at home after hyaluronic acid injection rhinoplasty.

3. Within one week after hyaluronic acid injection rhinoplasty, the prosthesis has not been wrapped by the fibrous membrane and is in an unstable stage. You must be extra careful in the care after hyaluronic acid injection rhinoplasty and do not touch, squeeze or hit the local area.

4. About 2-4 weeks after hyaluronic acid injection rhinoplasty, you are prohibited from wearing glasses and must insist on applying cold compresses on your face. During the post-hyaluronic acid injection rhinoplasty care, you must keep your head up for about 5 days. Even when lying down, you must use 2-3 quilts to raise your head or back. This will help reduce swelling as soon as possible.

Due to the minimally invasive nature of hyaluronic acid injection rhinoplasty, you can put on makeup and work normally after the operation, which will not affect your normal life at all. However, Dr. Li reminds you: use a small towel to clean other parts of your face except the wound, and do not squeeze the nose. After all, the nose needs some time to recover after the injection. The wound should not be soaked in water for a long time to avoid infection. It is best to put on light makeup and avoid nasal contamination as much as possible to ensure the effect of the operation and avoid complications.

How often should hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty be performed?

Taking the first injection as an example, if the hyaluronic acid used is a medium molecule, the effect will not be obvious after 6-8 months (but it is not completely absorbed), while a large molecule (such as Juvederm Ultra) can last for 8-12 months. If it is a medium molecule, it is recommended to use a small amount multiple times (otherwise the bridge of the nose will become wider), and you can do a follow-up injection 2-3 months after the first injection. If you use a large molecule, it is recommended to do a follow-up injection within 6 months after the first injection, which can last for a long time.
