What to eat after rhinoplasty to reduce swelling?

 

To answer this question, we would first like to begin with what food groups you should exclude after rhinoplasty:

  • Refined carbohydrates,
  • Fried foods,
  • Aerated/sugary beverages,
  • Red meat and processed meat
  • Alcoholic beverages,
  • Caffeinated products,
  • Nicotine/tobacco-based products
  • Extremely spicy food or dishes having excess sodium ((can encourage your body to retain water, making post-operative swelling worse)).
  • Fish oils,
  • Ginger,
  • Gingko biloba
  • Certain medications that can impair healing and cause complications by increasing blood flow:
    • Aspirin, Advil, Coumadin, Warfarin, Xarelto, Eliquis, and Vitamin E supplements.
    • Blood thinning medications.
    • Note - Medicines should be paused/moderated only with the approval of your primary doctor.

 

  • Anti-inflammatory food that you should incorporate more into your diet:
    • Olive oil
    • Green leafy vegetables (high in natural antioxidants and polyphenols): spinach, kale, and collards
    • Nuts: almonds and walnuts
    • Fatty fish: salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines
    • Fruits (with adequate vitamin C): tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, oranges, and apples.
    • Arnica: This natural herb is now available in pill form for easier consumption. Consume only with the doctor's approval.
    • Pineapple: Contains bromelain enzyme, which has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce bruising and swelling.

 

  • Additional tips:
    • Use frozen peas to reduce swelling: For the first three days after your operation, apply a bag of frozen peas to those areas where most of the swelling and bruising persists. They will constrict the blood vessels and reduce swelling.
    • Drink lots of water and freshly squeezed juice with no sugar/pulp: If there is fluid retention, this will help reduce swelling by flushing out excess fluid.

 

Above, we have narrowed our food items to only those that can beat inflammation. Click here to:

  • Take care of your health/vitamin-related needs throughout your recovery phase.
  • Know which food to eat at what stage of recovery.
  • know which food items can be easy to chew in your recovery phase.

 

You can contact us for further assistance or connect with prominent surgeons in India or Turkey for a consultation!

After a rhinoplasty procedure, it is useful to consume foods that have nutrients and minerals as they help in the healing process while possibly reducing swelling. Pay attention to a healthy diet including fruits, vegetables, low-fat proteins and sufficient water intake. High vitamin C foods, such as zinc and bromelain (found in pineapples), may particularly be effective. But it is important to consider any dietary recommendations offered by your surgeon. To get individual advice, approach your general practitioner or a qualified nutritionist specializing in recovery and any dietary restrictions.

I am bhoomi chavan 27 years old i have armpit fat for after pregnancy so please suggest i

Female | 27

The post-pregnancy treatment for armpit fat focuses on specific exercises and healthy living. Enfold strength training focusing on the chest and back muscles in your workout. Cardio workouts help with total body fat loss. Keep a balanced diet with sufficient hydration. Work with a trainer for customized workout programs. It takes patience and consistency to get gradual sustainable results. However, if worries arise, consult a medical or fitness expert for further advice.

When can i drink alcohol after rhinoplasty?

Male | 34

After the rhinoplasty, you need to refrain from alcohol for at least two weeks. Sometimes surgeons can suggest an even longer period of abstinence. Alcohol, vasodilator–increases swelling and prolongs the healing process by intensifying bruising of inflammation. It also makes the blood thinner, increasing chances of bleeding and complications after surgery. On top of that, alcohol interacts poorly with any medications being prescribed to you during recovery like painkillers or antibiotics. Follow your surgeon’s particular advice and contact them directly for personalized information about alcohol intake after rhinoplasty.

When can i stop using bbl pillow?

Male | 45

You can stop using a BBL pillow after two weeks of your Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. However, your surgeon will give you specific instructions based on your individual case, which you should follow carefully to ensure optimal results. Remember to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for a few weeks after the surgery.

Im 5 feet 7 inch tall and i want to gain at least 4 inchs is it possible

Male | 25

Gaining 4 inches in height after reaching adulthood is highly unlikely and practically impossible through natural means.. While there are surgical procedures like Limb lengthening that can increase height artificially, they are highly invasive, expensive, and carry significant risks, making them an unsuitable option for most people. Moreover, 4 inches of heught increase cannot be gauranteed.

Can i get a nose job at 14?

Female | 14

It is usually not recommended to get nose job at 14. It is advisable to wait until you have got the physical maturity. Thus, most surgeons recommend having a rhinoplasty in your late teens or early 20s. But still I advise consulting a reputed plastic surgeon in person for proper evaluation and assessment of your individual condition.

How to get rid of fibrosis after lipo?

Female | 51

The treatment after liposuction of fibrosis is a blend procedure. Massaging the affected areas regularly will break down scar tissue and enhance skin elasticity. In some instances, specialized treatments like lymphatic drainage massage or radiofrequency therapy can also be suggested to treat fibrosis. With proper hydration, balanced diet and regular exercise a healthy lifestyle can sustain the overall healing process. There must be strict adherence to the post-operative care instructions given by your surgeon and make sure that you attend all follow up visits for a thorough evaluation of how well you are recovering. If concerns continue, seek advice from your surgeon regarding the management of fibrosis subsequent to liposuction.

I want my tummy tuck. How much it cost and is it one time procedure? My age is 37 and have loose tummy. Have had 2 kids by c-sec, and last was in 2014

Female | 37

  1. If you don't plan on losing weight further and if you don't have any plans regarding pregnancy, then in that case you are an ideal candidate for this surgery.
  2. Tummy tuck surgery isn't a weight loss procedure, it will only help in cutting out excess fat from your tummy, and so your body should be fit overall even if your tummy has excess fats which isn't responding well to your exercises.
  3. If you healed from your c-section surgery then tummy tuck shouldn't pose any problem, tummy tuck is safe after 6 to 12 months post c-section.
  4. Tummy tuck price should broadly range between 1,50,000 INR and 3,50,000 INR, but same depends on the area covered, as well as city and infrastructure of the clinic.
