After nasal bone correction surgery, it is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the nasal area to prevent infection. Diet should be light, avoiding spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods. Additionally, it is best to sleep in a lateral or prone position to avoid pressure on the nasal bones. If local swelling or bruising occurs after surgery, cold compresses can be used to help alleviate these symptoms.
