The idea of having a perfect nose is quite exciting. Our noses are located in the middle of our face, and they affect our facial expression and define our face shape. Rhinoplasty surgery can positively affect the social and professional life of the patient by making them both happier and more self-confident if done by a competent and expert surgeon. Considering all this, it is not surprising that rhinoplasty surgery is in such high demand.
Although it is one of the most popular plastic surgery operations, deciding to have a nose job is not easy at all. The job does not end with surgery alone. The recovery process after the surgery is an issue that worries patients at least as much as the procedure itself. What patients most want to know is whether rhinoplasty is a painful operation.
If you are afraid of the pain of the operation, let us remind you that the operation will be performed under general anesthesia and you will not feel anything during the operation. In the first few days after the operation, it is possible to feel more discomfort than pain. Most patients who have undergone rhinoplasty rate the pain and ache they experience after the surgery between 0 and 4 out of 10. Based on the experiences of the patients, it can be said that rhinoplasty is not a very painful procedure.
We noted that the surgery isn’t painful; however, it should not be forgotten that patients should be sensitive to their noses for a few weeks following this process. After the operation, you will experience effects such as bruising, swelling, redness, and edema around your nose and eyes. You can apply ice to reduce edema quickly and keep your head elevated by using double pillows while you sleep.
The day you will feel the most pain and pain after the surgery will be the first day. For this reason, patients are hosted in the hospital for one or two days after rhinoplasty. After discharge, you can ensure that the healing process passes with minimum pain by using the medication and painkillers prescribed by your doctor.
If you are working or studying, you should take at least a week off for surgery and get plenty of rest. It’s okay to take light walks that will not tire you during the day but you should definitely stay away from heavy exercise. If you are planning to have rhinoplasty surgery in the summer months, keep in mind that you need to protect your nose against the sun.
