What Should Be Considered Before Rhinoplasty Surgery?
All surgical operations undoubtedly require great care and meticulousness. This situation gains a different importance especially in cosmetic surgeries. In addition to the expertise of the doctor who will perform the operation, it is also necessary for the patient who will have the operation to be knowledgeable and prepared about the subject. Since aesthetic nose surgery is a surgical method that requires attention and rules to be followed beforehand, there are some situations that every patient who decides to have the operation should be aware of.
Before the surgery, a health screening must be performed and all necessary tests related to the surgery must be performed.
The patient must tell the doctor about any illnesses he or she has had during the examination. Especially if there are serious illnesses such as high blood pressure, heart attack and diabetes, preoperative examination and treatment may be necessary.
If a nose surgery has been performed before, this information must be conveyed to the doctor.
Colds and flu are risk factors for surgery. These types of upper respiratory tract infections can cause problems during anesthesia. Therefore, surgery should not be performed until full recovery is achieved.
If the patient is taking any medication regularly, this information should be shared with the anesthesiologist before the surgery is planned.
Blood thinners such as aspirin should not be taken before the plastic surgery. In order to avoid any complications during the surgery, the use of such drugs should be stopped 10 days before the surgery.
If you smoke, you should quit 15 days before the operation because smoking slows down the post-operative healing process.
Alcohol consumption should also be stopped 1 week before. Alcohol reduces body resistance and can cause problems during anesthesia.
When entering the surgery, there should be no cosmetic products (such as powder, gel, nail polish, perfume) or accessories such as jewelry (such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings) on the body.
The stomach must be empty during the surgery. If the surgery is in the morning, nothing should be eaten or drunk after midnight, if the surgery is in the afternoon, nothing should be eaten or drunk for 6 hours. Similarly, you should fast for at least 6 hours after the surgery.
You can take a warm shower before the operation. You should also choose comfortable clothes that button up in the front. If the patient has long hair, they should be tied up or braided before the operation.
If female patients who will undergo rhinoplasty are on their period, they should share this information with their doctors. Being on their period does not pose a risk for the surgery, but the doctor will decide whether the surgery will be performed.
It would also be a good idea for the person who will have plastic surgery to have a companion with them.
