Disease description:

My nasal tip is slightly short, and my doctor recommended rhinoplasty to reshape the tip. I would like to know what post-operative care measures are required?

Dr. Li Fengyong
After rhinoplasty, it is important to keep the nasal area dry and avoid touching it with hands to prevent infection. At the same time, antibiotics may be taken under a doctor's guidance to prevent infection; commonly used medications include amoxicillin and cefradine. Within 24 hours after surgery, an ice pack can be applied locally for cold compression to help reduce pain, swelling, and other symptoms.
