Preparing For Rhinoplasty
What is a Rhinoplasty Surgery?
A Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that includes reshaping the nose of the patient. Usually, patients who have asymmetrical nose shapes undergo rhinoplasty surgery. Rhinoplasty surgery improves your self-image and boosts your confidence.
There are several patients who also have medical complications like snoring during their sleep, infections in the nasal passage, septum problems, and sinus issues. Rhinoplasty surgery can be very beneficial for such patients. The Rhinoplasty surgery includes altering the patient’s nose along with the nostrils and the nasal tip from an unsymmetric and irregular shape to a better-looking and symmetric one.

How To Prepare For Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is one of the surgical procedures in which you need to be prepared before you undergo the treatment. But what should you do to be prepared for the procedure?
Find out more by going through the tips given below.
- Make sure your hemoglobin and blood clotting levels are normal.
- Bring a companion with you who would drive you to the clinic and take good care of yourself. You can also prefer to stay in the clinic premises for a good recovery.
- Due to blockage of the nasal cavity for a few days which is a part of rhinoplasty recovery, you would mostly be breathing through your mouth. Make sure you have things available at home which prevent your mouth from dryness.
- Consume foods that have low amounts of sodium as it increases fluid retention levels and decreases swelling.
- Take a proper shower before the day of the surgery as you would not be able to take a shower for a few days after the rhinoplasty surgery.
- Avoid wearing any type of jewelry, especially on the nose, the surgeon would require you to remove it if you are wearing one.
- Prefer wearing a Shirt instead of a T-Shirt, which would not pull on your face while you are getting dressed.
- Have a proper restful sleep the night before your surgery.
The Diet Prescribed by the Plastic Surgeon Before the Rhinoplasty Surgery
According to your experts, you should not be eating any meal the night before the surgery. However, you can consume meals before dinner which can be stored in your body as reserved fuels. This can be used up by your body whenever you feel starved.
Usually, fibrous and protein-rich foods are recommended by plastic surgeons. Fibrous food like green vegetables and fruits improves your digestion rate plus it allows your stool to soften allowing you to freshen up properly before the surgery. Protein-rich foods like soybean, meat, beans, and eggs would help in speeding up the recovery process allowing the nasal passage to heal properly.
You need to follow a healthy diet regimen one or two weeks before rhinoplasty surgery. The healthier the diet routine you follow, the quicker you will be able to recover.
The Do’s and Don’ts in a Rhinoplasty Surgery
Following are a few do’s and don’ts that would help you in your recovery:
- Ask a relative or someone who could drive you back home after the surgery.
- A caretaker for the next 2 days should be there to ensure that you have assistance in any physical efforts required.
