Laser to remove hair, acts as follows: The hair contains melanin, which is what gives it color. When the light beam with a given wavelength and intensity, interacts with the hair, the applied light energy is absorbed by the melanin transformed into heat, resulting in the destruction of the hair bulb without affecting the surrounding tissues. As the laser only acts on dark areas by melanin, it is not efficient for white or very light hair.

This implies that you have to have a little patience, because until the recovery is not total the patient will not be able to fully return to normal life and will be limited when doing certain things.

The normal thing is that in a period of four to six weeks the nose is fully recovered and can already perform all kinds of activities. Yes, it is recommended to apply daily quality sunscreen in the area until at least three months have passed since the operation.

10 Post-operative Care of Rhinoplasty

1.Follow a proper diet: It is very normal that nausea and even vomiting may appear during the 24 hours following the operation due to anesthesia. To reduce this type of discomfort to the maximum, it is advisable to make a liquid diet during the first day: soups, purées, infusions … From the second day the patient can recover little by little his normal diet depending on how they improve the stomach discomfort. After the intervention, analgesics for pain are usually prescribed; It is important not to take them on an empty stomach, since they can cause nausea and damage the stomach.

2. Make absolute rest: That rhinoplasty is not a large operation does not mean that you do not have to rest. During the first 24 hours the rest must be absolute, and in the following 15 days a moderate rest must be carried out, avoiding the activities that imply an intense physical effort.

3. Do not blow your nose: Patients who are going to undergo rhinoplasty have many doubts about whether or not they can blow their noses. The specialists advise not to do it after the operation until after two weeks to avoid that some hemorrhage can take place. As much as possible, you also have to avoid laughing, crying or gesturing with your face. Sneezing is something totally inevitable, but as long as the recovery lasts it must always be done with an open mouth. This reduces pressure and prevents bleeding.

4. Perform nasal washes: The use of sea water for cleaning the nose is the best alternative to reduce the discomfort caused by internal wounds and scabs. In addition, this treatment helps, at the same time, to keep the nostrils hydrated.

Decongestant sprays can be used, but only those that have been indicated by the specialist and following their indications to the letter. If the patient notices any discomfort, such as dryness, itching or sneezing, you should consult your doctor quickly.

6.Beber water to avoid dry mouth: While the nose is plugged with the splints or plugs, the patient will have to breathe through the mouth, which can increase the dryness of this area. To reduce this annoying symptom it is best to drink water frequently.

7. Use a humidifier: The dryness in the nose and mouth is very normal after a rhinoplasty intervention. A simple way to alleviate this problem is to use a humidifier, especially at night. Decongestant substances such as menthol or eucalyptus can be added to the water of this device.

8.Follow medical prescriptions: Self-medication is always bad, but it is especially dangerous after an operation. The patient who has undergone rhinoplasty should not take more medications than those prescribed by his surgeon.

If the patient has some type of disease or pathology that makes it necessary to take other drugs, you should consult the subject with the surgeon before the operation.

9. Accepting emotional changes during the postoperative period: It is relatively common for those who undergo an operation to suffer a brief period of depression after surgery. It is normal due to the swollen appearance of the face, the discomfort of recovery and the limited that the patient sees, sometimes, to make his normal life during the first weeks.

The problem usually disappears as the recovery progresses, but if this emotional state does not improve after a few weeks it is advisable to go to a specialist.

10. Acquire the surgeon in case of emergency: The surgeon will inform the patient of the effects that are normal after the operation, as well as those that are not. If a problem appears in the eyesight, the patient suffers severe pain that does not remit with antibiotics, has a fever above 37.5 degrees or suffers watery and clear secretions, you must see the doctor immediately.
