Introduction
Under normal circumstances, rib nasal augmentation refers to autologous rib cartilage nasal augmentation surgery. Drinking coffee is generally not recommended in the short term after undergoing autologous rib cartilage nasal augmentation. The typical reference price for autologous rib cartilage nasal augmentation ranges from 20,000 to 50,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is usually observed 1 to 3 months after surgery, but symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, pain, and infection may occur.
Generally speaking, rib nose augmentation refers to nasal augmentation using costal cartilage. This procedure involves harvesting cartilage tissue from the costal cartilage and then implanting it into the nose. The usual reference price for costal cartilage rhinoplasty ranges from 10,000 to 50,000 yuan per session, and noticeable improvement can generally be observed within 7 to 14 days. Possible side effects include pain and bleeding. Drinking coffee is not recommended shortly after undergoing costal cartilage rhinoplasty. Detailed explanation is as follows:
Coffee contains caffeine, which is a stimulant that may cause blood vessels to dilate and increase local blood circulation. In the early postoperative period, this may worsen swelling and pain in the nose, which is not conducive to wound stabilization and healing. Moreover, caffeine may also affect sleep quality. Sufficient rest is required after surgery for body recovery, and sleep deprivation can impair immune function, increase the risk of infection, and delay the healing process.
It is recommended to visit a qualified hospital and undergo the above procedures under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery. After surgery, it is important to keep the nose clean and dry, avoid getting it wet, and prevent infection. Before the wound is completely healed, do not press or rub the nose, and avoid strenuous exercise to prevent implant displacement or interfere with the healing of the rib cartilage and nasal tissues.
