What Should You Avoid Before Rhinoplasty?

It is essential to keep yourself in good health and wellness, which will help ensure the recovery process is smooth and does not last any longer than it needs to.

While there is a lot you can do, we want to focus for a moment on all the things that patients should avoid doing.

 

Avoid Drinking Alcohol A Week Before Nose Surgery

Even if your nerves are a bit frayed because of your upcoming plastic surgery, you should still abstain from drinking alcohol.

Not only will it dehydrate you, but it will also decrease your immune system’s strength and impair your recovery in general. Look for alternative forms of relaxation for the days leading up to your surgery.

Stop Smoking (At Least Immediately Before and After Rhinoplasty)

We’re not going to pass judgment on your habits out with rhinoplasty.

Still, if you intend on having plastic surgery completed, you should avoid smoking cigarettes at least one week before and for the duration of your recovery period.

Avoid Taking Aspirin (And Similar Medication)

This is relatively self-explanatory – Aspirin and medication like coumadin have blood-thinning properties that are best avoided before and after surgery.

It may increase the amount of time you have to spend recovering.

Avoid Using Topical Creams

At least four days before you are due to go under the knife, it is recommended that you avoid using any topical creams on your face.

Avoid anything that includes Salicylic Acid and other BHAs, along with AHAs and Retin-A, Obagi, and Benzoyl Peroxide. Stick to simple moisturisers and cleansers.

Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure

This rule applies both before and after rhinoplasty, as UV light can damage your skin and cause healing problems.

Do Not Eat or Drink Anything After 12 the Night Before Rhinoplasty surgery

Another self-explanatory rule – but bears repeating nonetheless, that you should make sure you do not eat or drink anything at least 8 hours before surgery or after midnight the night before your rhinoplasty.

Additional Medications You Should Avoid (Unless Otherwise Directed By Your Plastic Surgeon)

In addition to Aspirin and Coumadin, there are several other medications you need to avoid unless the specialist tells you differently, including:

Vitamin E – apart from being included in a combination multivitamins supplement, you should stop taking Vitamin E in the week leading up to your procedure.

Clopidogrel – it is best to discuss whether you should stop using this medication with the professional who prescribed it to you.

Celebrex – stop this at least one week before you are due to have your surgery.

Some OTC supplements can cause reactions to the anaesthetic and can affect your bleeding. Avoid the likes of fish oil, Ginseng, Ginkgo, Ginger, Garlic, And St. John’s Wort.

What Can You Eat The Day Before A Nose Job?

Although you need to avoid eating food after midnight the night before your nose surgery, that doesn’t mean you should fast in the run-up to the procedure.

For instance, it’s a good idea to increase the amount of protein you eat.

That means including protein-rich foods like

chicken

soy

meat

yoghurt

eggs

beans/lentils

Not just the day before but for around three weeks before you have your rhinoplasty surgery.

Protein is crucial and may help quicken the healing and recovery period to help you overcome any trauma you experienced during the process.

The healthier the diet you have before your surgery, the better.
